This classification states that they have molecules designed to rapidly change their state which is usually a solid state into a very hot gas
Class 1: Explosives
What are the 4 physical states of class 1 explosives?
- Explosive Substances
- Pyrotechnics Substances
- Explosive articles
- Phlegmatizing agent/ Phlegmatizer
This physical state are solids and liquids in itself can create toxic gases or create a chemical reaction and can damage the surroundings
Explosive substances
This is a mixture designed to produce an effect of gas due to heat, shock, impact, and friction
Pyrotechnic Substances
What reaction do pyrotechnic Substances create?
Non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic reaction
Which physical state of class 1 explosives consists of 1 or more articles/ explosives
Explosive articles
These are added to the explosive to enhance safety in transportation of the dangerous goods
Phlegmatizing agent
These are used to render the sensitivity or minimizes the explosive tendency of another compound or material
Phlegmatizer
