Fine grinding of explosives

A wet grinding process with a rotor-stator mill was selected for safe grinding of the explosive .epsilon.-CL-20 with a mean particle size of 200 .mu.m to produce a narrow particle size distribution and a mean particle size of 5 .mu.m. The aq. suspension had a solid concn. of 15 per cent. The obtained particle size distribution of .epsilon. -CL-20 is compared to that of RDX.
