Descriptions for C06B and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    This subclass covers:[2]
      compositions which are:
        explosive: compositions included are those containing both a fuel and sufficient oxidiser so that, upon initiation, they are capable of undergoing a chemical change of a relatively high rate of speed, resulting in the production of usable force for blasting, firearms, propelling missiles, or the like;—thermic: compositions included have (i) a consumable fuel component which consists of any element which is a metal, B, Si, Se or Te, or mixtures, intercompounds, or hydrides thereof; and (ii) in combination an oxidant component which is either a metal oxide or a salt (organic or inorganic) capable of yielding a metal oxide on decomposition;—fuels for rocket engines and intended for reaction with an oxidant, excluding air, in order to provide thrust for motive power purposes;—for use in affecting the explosion environment, e.g. for neutralising the poisonous gases of explosives, for cooling the explosion gases, or the like;—
      methods or apparatus for preparing or treating such compositions not otherwise provided for;—methods of using single substances as explosives 
    In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
      "nitrated" covers compounds having a nitro group or a nitrate ester group 
    Methods or apparatus for preparing or treating such compositions are classified according to the particular components of the compositions
