nondetonating
Nondetonating refers to a characteristic of certain explosive or combustible substances that prevents them from detonation under normal conditions. The term is often used in the context of explosives, incendiary devices, and pyrotechnics to describe materials that do not readily produce a rapid, explosive chain reaction when subjected to shock, heat, or friction. Instead, nondetonating materials tend to burn or deflagrate—burning at a controlled rate—without causing a destructive explosion.
Nondetonating explosives are typically designed for safety and handling purposes. They are less sensitive to accidental
The term can also apply to substances that, despite being combustible, do not have the necessary properties
In military and industrial applications, nondetonating materials are valued for their safety profile. They enable the
Overall, nondetonating substances are important in contexts where controlled burning is preferred over explosion, offering a
