Originally developed by the Taoists for medicinal purposes, gunpowder was first used for warfare around 904 AD. Gunpowder is classified as a low explosive because of its relatively slow decomposition rate and consequently low brisance. Low explosives deflagrate (i.e., burn) at subsonic speeds, whereas high explosives detonate producing a ...

Blasting caps. Nobel's original fuse-type blasting cap remained virtually unchanged for many years, except for the substitution of 90-10 and 80-20 mixtures of mercury fulminate and potassium chlorate for the pure fulminate. This did not affect the performance materially and provided a substantial economy. Mercury fulminate is an example of an explosive that can be both primary and secondary.
