Räjäytysaineet
Räjäytysaineet, or explosives, are chemical compounds or mixtures that can undergo rapid decomposition, producing a large volume of gas and a sudden release of energy. This energy release manifests as a shock wave and heat, creating a powerful explosion. Explosives are broadly categorized into two main types: high explosives and low explosives.
High explosives detonate, meaning they propagate a detonation wave through the material at supersonic speeds. Examples
Low explosives deflagrate, meaning they burn very rapidly, producing gas and heat but at subsonic speeds. Gunpowder
The production and use of explosives are strictly regulated in most countries due to their inherent dangers
