1. The most common use of PETN is as an explosive with high brisance . 2. EGDN has a slightly higher brisance than nitroglycerin. 3. In a pinch the Winchester WLRM primer or primers with similar brisance may be substituted. 4. An important aspect of ERA is the brisance , or detonation speed of its explosive element. 5. Sodium nitrate is added to the medium as an oxidizer that improves the dynamite's brisance . 6. Despite their brisance and detonation velocity being comparable with TNT, panclastites have virtually no use today. 7. Not to be confused with T-ammonal which contains trinitrotoluene as well to increase properties such as brisance . 8. The power relative to weight is high, but the density is low, so the brisance is low as well. 9. When stored below 65 �C ( 149 �F ) Tetrytol does not change stability, acid content, sensitivity or brisance . 10. Sensitivity, along with stability and brisance are three of the most significant properties of explosives that affect their use and application.
