According to an analysis given in Cundill and Thomson’s Dictionary it consisted of-- Ammonium nitrate 83·4 Dinitro-benzene 16·5 Moisture 0·1 =GEHLINGERIT.=--A German blasting explosive. Gesteins-Gehlingerit III. contains-- Ammonium nitrate 80 Trinitro-toluene 15 Flour 5 Wetter-Gehlingerit, which is a coal-mine explosive, contains also sodium or potassium chloride, and may contain up to 4 per cent. of nitroglycerine to increase its sensitiveness. =GELATINÉ À L’AMMONIAQUE.=--A Belgian explosive, a mixture of blasting gelatine and ammonium nitrate. =GELATINE DYNAMITE= is a mixture of blasting gelatine, potassium nitrate and a little wood meal. That made in Britain must contain between 70 and 77 per cent. of nitroglycerine; it may contain up to 2 per cent. of calcium or magnesium carbonate, or 1/2 per cent. of mineral jelly as a stabiliser. The following may be taken as an example of its composition-- Nitroglycerine 74·5 Collodion cotton 5·5 Wood meal 4 Potassium nitrate 15·5 Calcium carbonate 0·2 Moisture 0·3 In America brands are made of 35 to 80 per cent. strength. =GELIGNITE= is similar to Gelatine Dynamite except that it contains a smaller proportion of blasting gelatine; in Britain the percentage of nitroglycerine must be between 56 and 63, _e. g._-- Nitroglycerine 61 Collodion cotton 4·5 Wood meal 7 Potassium nitrate 27 Calcium carbonate 0·2 Moisture 0·3 There are also a number of modified Gelignites, which either contain sodium or barium nitrate in partial or entire replacement of the potassium nitrate, or else contain some substance to reduce the freezing point of the nitroglycerine and so diminish the danger of freezing, such as dinitro- or trinitro-toluene or dinitro-glycol. =GESILIT.=--A German coal-mine explosive made by Nahnsen. It contains blasting gelatine, inorganic nitrates, sodium chloride, carbohydrates and dinitro-toluene-- I. II. III.
