Abstract
Cast boosters made with pentaerythritol tetranitrate(PETN) and trinitro toluene(TNT) give high velocities of detonation and are sensitive to initiation even under high pressures. However, the manufacture of the same involves heating of TNT to its melting temperature and mixing of dry PETN in it.
