The gelatine dynamite, which has been traditionally used in Korea as the 2nd generation explosive, is now being rapidly replaced by an emulsion explosive because of the change in life environment economic schemes, and safety reasons. However, there has been lack of study in the surfactant which is an important factor in manufacturing technology of emulsion explosives, and especially GMB technology has not been used in Korea. In this study, effective usage of surfactant with optimum dosage and optimum mixing temperature of GMB was investigated to increase safety and effectiveness.
