Abstract
THPP is a type of metallic complex explosive used in initiators, consisting of TiH2 and KClO4. In this case KClO4 includes ClO4- which is a harmful substance that may cause thyroid dysfunction or tumors. In this study KIO4 is applied to a new type of environmentally friendly explosive as a substitute to the conventional KClO4. Tests were carried out to see if KIO4 can be made a successful replacement for KClO4.
