-
A powerful explosive agent, consisting of absorbent matter, as porous silica, saturated with nitroglycerine. The object of the mixture is to diminish the susceptibility of nitroglycerine to slight shock, and so to facilitate its carriage without destroying its explosive force. The disruptive force of dynamite is estimated at about eight times that of gunpowder. Sometimes charcoal, sand and saw-dust have been employed as substitutes for the siliceous earth.
By Daniel Lyons
-
A powerful explosive substance, intensely local in its action, and formed by impregnating a porous silicious earth, and sometimes other subtances, with about 70 per cent, of nitroglycerine.
