Black Powder is the
oldest explosive and has
in been in use for
centuries, both for
civil and military
purposes. Though, over
the years many forms of
new explosives have been
invented it is still
used in numerous ways.
It is used as blasting
powder in winning large
undamaged blocks of
stones like marble,
granite etc. It is used
in production of safety
fuses, pyrotechnic
products, hunting and
sporting ammunition and
for military purposes.
 Black
powder detonates only if
it is well enclosed or
initiated by a strong
impulse. The
speed with which Black
Powder burns is between
400 to 600 m/s.
The standard Black
Powder is a well
homogenized mechanical
mixture of potassium
nitrate (75%), sulphur
(10%) and charcoal
(15%). Properties of
individual Black Powder
types are determined by
the chemical
composition, density,
granulation and
polishing.
Depending on the purpose
of use, polishing with
or without graphite is
performed.
There are various
types of Black Powder
available with us, viz :
Blasting Powder:
Blasting Powder inserted
into drill holes does
not detonate violently
but burns releasing
gases which create
sufficient pressure on
the walls to crack
without excessive
crushing.For this
property Blasting Powder
is used for winning of
 big,
uncracked and undamaged
blocksof stone like
marble, granite etc.
Fuse Powder:
Black Powder is
indispensable for
production of safety
fuse. Burning time
within the fuse is
between 90 seconds to
150 seconds per meter.
Burning time
can be fixed as per

Pyrotechnic Powders are
