Explosive Mixtures

The manufacturing of non-toxic primary explosives is a core expertise of RWS. In the 1920s the world’s first corrosionfree primer composition was developed with the brand name SINOXID®. In the 1980s the first heavy metal free primer composition followed with the brand name SINTOX®, which even today is still without competition. Today RWS continues to manufacture most of its products where possible with nontoxic
(lead and other heavy metal free) primer compositions. Primer Compositions and pyrotechnical primer mixtures from RWS are primarily applied by customers in automotive safety systems (e.g. airbags and seat belt tighteners). Furthermore, there are many other fields of application including the aviation and space industries.

Primary Explosive

• Primary Explosive is the core of an igniter: its task is to dissipate energy into a flame effective due to quick and uniform ignition (time-to-light << 1 msec).
• RWS production program: Lead styphnate, Benzanate, CaStyp, Diazol, Pikrazol

Booster Charges

• RWS Booster Mixtures: B/KNO3, TIPP
• Auto Ignition Mixtures are used to meet the requirements of official standards regarding transport safety (bonfire test) as specified by e.g. BAM, DOT, etc.
• High Temperature stable Pyrotechnic Mixtures (HTPM) are a newly developed group of pyrotechnical mixtures designed for use in engine compartments or more generally in environments where high thermal stability is required.
• Specific mixtures and developments available upon request.
