=SABULITE= is a blasting explosive containing ammonium nitrate, trinitro-toluene and calcium silicide. The last constituent increases the heat of explosion and renders the mixture more sensitive both to detonation and to blows; it plays the same part as the aluminium powder in Ammonal. Ammonium nitrate 78 Trinitro-toluene 8 Calcium silicide 14 This composition was modified by the Belgian Sabulite Co. to render it suitable for use in coal mines: by introducing some potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride it was able to pass the tests, and obtain a place on the list of “explosifs S.G.P.”-- Sabulite antigri- souteuse A. Ammonium nitrate 54 Potassium nitrate 22 Ammonium chloride 13 Trinitro-toluene 6 Calcium silicide 5 Sabulite has been used as a military high explosive. =SAFETY BLASTING POWDER.= See =CAHUECIT=. =SALIT= or Wittenberger Wetterdynamit is a German coal-mine explosive. The following is an analysis-- Ammonium nitrate 53·6 Nitroglycerine 11·8 Collodion cotton 0·5 Dinitro-toluene 8·5 Dextrin 2·5 Sodium chloride 23·1 =SAMSONITE.=--A coal-mine explosive made by Nobel’s Explosives Co., Ltd. It was on the old Permitted List. It is now no longer permitted for use in dangerous coal mines but is still used for general purposes. Nitroglycerine 58·5 Collodion cotton 3·5 Potassium nitrate 18 Wood meal 6·5 Ammonium oxalate 13·5 During the War potassium nitrate was replaced by sodium nitrate, and the nitroglycerine was reduced to 50 per cent. Nos. 2 and 3 have passed the Rotherham Test and are on the Permitted List-- No. 2. No. 3. _Date of Permit_ 25-1-19 25-1-19 Nitroglycerine 51·5 51·5 Collodion cotton 3 3 Amide compound 0·2 0·3 Potassium perchlorate 11 -- Sodium nitrate -- 10 Borax 23·3 25·2 Potassium chloride 10 -- Sodium chloride -- 10 Moisture 1 -- Limit charge 26 24 oz. Power (swing of ballistic pendulum) 2·49 2·42” =SAXONITE= was the predecessor of Samsonite on the old Permitted List. It has practically the same composition, but wide limits are allowed. It also is used for general purposes. During the War potassium nitrate was replaced by sodium nitrate.
