4. Resistance wire heating test: a resistance wire was placed in an open container
containing nitrate-o-ethylbenzene explosives, the wire was charged for 3 min,
and no combustion and explosion occurred but evaporation and decomposition.
5. Shooting sensitivity test: no combustion and explosion occurred.

(4) Detonation Performance
Nitrate-o-ethylbenzene explosives have desirable explosive performance. The
detonation velocity of nitrate-o-ethylbenzene placed in glass tubes with different
