Long-term practice of using aquatrinitrotoluenes for blasting shows that the main drawbacks of these compositions: tendency to delamination and relatively low water resistance, have not yet been overcome. The delamination of aquatrinitrotoluene components during formation of charges in real conditions leads to reduction of specific heat of explosive transformation of the whole charge on average up to 30 % (tab.1). Currently, emulsion explosives, which do not have these drawbacks, are more widely spread in the practice of blasting works
