=KIWIT.=--A German chlorate explosive introduced during the War. It contains not more than 77 per cent. of sodium or potassium chlorate, carbon carriers such as paraffin, naphthalene, vaseline, meal or oil, also not more than 15 per cent. of liquid trinitro-toluene, and may contain dinitro-toluene, dinitro-naphthalene, sodium chloride and not more than 4 per cent. of guncotton. =KOHLENKARBONIT.= See =CARBONITE=. =KOLAX.=--A coal-mine explosive of the Carbonite type formerly on the Permitted List, made by Curtis’s and Harvey-- Nitroglycerine 25 Potassium nitrate 26 Barium nitrate 5 Wood meal 34 Starch 10 =SUPER-KOLAX= was a modification of this to meet the requirements of the Rotherham Test-- No. 2. _Date of Permit_ 1-9-13 7-4-14 Nitroglycerine 25·5 28·5 Collodion cotton -- 1 Potassium nitrate 25·5 16·5 Barium nitrate 5 5 Wood meal 29·5 30·5 Starch 7·5 9 Ammonium oxalate 7 9·5 Limit charge 30 over 32 oz.

See also Coronite. Gesteins-Koronit (or -Favorit) contains not more than 85 per cent. of potassium or sodium chlorate, not more than 15 per cent. of nitro-bodies (but no trinitro-compounds), paraffin or fatty oils, naphthalene, vegetable meal, powdered coal, inert substances, and not more than 4 per cent. of blasting gelatine. Kohlen-Koronit (or -Favorit) contains not more than 68 per cent. of potassium or sodium chlorate, aromatic hydrocarbons and nitro-hydrocarbons (but not more than 12 per cent. of aromatic nitro-bodies and no trinitro-compounds), sodium chloride or similar salts, paraffin or fatty oils, vegetable meal or other organic substance; not more than 4 per cent. of blasting gelatine and not more than 4 per cent. of powdered coal. =PERKORONIT= is similar to Koronit except that it contains potassium or sodium perchlorate instead of chlorate. Part of the perchlorate may be replaced by nitrate. =*K.S.=, =K.S.G.=--Kynoch’s Smokeless Powder. It is a fibrous bulk powder for shot-guns made by Kynochs, Ltd.
