2.4 Order of precedence. In the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the
references cited herein, the text of this document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however,
supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Approval of new ingredient vendors. When a new vendor of a PBXN-110 ingredient (see table
I) is used, the vendor must be approved in accordance with 4.3. A proposed test and evaluation plan shall
be submitted to the PBXN-110 Configuration Control Board for review and approval, unless the guidelines
provided in section 6 are followed. The PBXN-110 Configuration Control Board shall evaluate the test
data and determine acceptance or non-acceptance of the new ingredient vendor based on a comparison to
the original PBXN-110 qualification test data.
3.2 First article. When specified (see 6.2), a sample shall be subjected to first article inspection (see
6.4) in accordance with 4.4.
3.3 Formulation. The PBXN-110 shall be a plastic-bonded, castable material that uses an
elastomeric polymer to incorporate solid powders and thereby produce a flexible, cured explosive. The
formulation of explosive PBXN-110 shall comply with the requirements specified in table I (see 6.8).
3.3.1 Cure conditions. The explosive shall be cured at a recommended temperature of between 20
and 50°C until the Shore A hardness meets the requirements of 3.4.
3.3.2 Equivalent ratio. The weight percent of the polybutadiene and the isodecyl pelargonate shall
be kept in a ratio of 1:1 + 0.05. The weight percent of the polybutadiene and the isocyanate shall be
calculated using the following NCO/OH ratio:
Type I - 0.75/1.0 to 0.85/1.0
Type II - 1.0/1.0 to 1.10/1.0
