Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates to the manufacture of an explosive. in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion comprising a discontinuous phase which forms an oxidizing salt-containing component and a continuous phase which is immiscible with the discontinuous phase and which forms a fuel component, a method of sensitizing the explosive to detonation which comprises dispersing in the emulsion an aqueous gassing solution comprising a chemical gassing agent and a water-soluble or water-miscible organic compound capable of promoting the formation of gas bubbles in the emulsion, to form an emulsion having a density at atmospheric pressure of 0,80 - 1,30 g/cm3 at 25.degree..
