Abstract:
A fuze for use in firedamp and coal-dust endangered operations suitable for use in the longhole blasting technique which includes a hollow tube, an explosive core of desensitized explosive surrounding the hollow tube, a wound strip of plastic encasing the explosive core, a multiple-layer spun casing of fibers enclosing the wound plastic strip and an envelope of inert substances surrounding the multiple-layer spun casing. The envelope is, preferably, a mixture of a polymer and insert substances covered, respectively, by cellulose-base fibers, a wound strip of plastic, a multiple-layer spun envelope of fibers, and finally a waterproof outer shell of synthetic resin.
