Abstract: This paper presents characterization of the explosive TH-5 - recycled trinitrotoluene with maximum 5% of hexogen (RDX). The explosive TH-5 was obtained by delaboration of explosive charges based on TNT and hexogen, and by their recycling at the company „Prva Iskra-Namenska proizvodnja“(Baric, Serbia). The possibility of processing of explosive TH-5 by pressing and casting is examined. The kinematic viscosity and solidification temperature of melt TH-5 were determined. The comparative analysis of the sensitivity of TH-5 and TNT to friction, compressibility values of explosives and the detonation velocities of pressed explosives as a function of density are presented.  Based on the analysis of processing possibility and detonation properties of TH-5 and TNT samples, their quality was estimated.

Keywords: explosives, TNT, recycled trinitrotoluene, TH-5, pressed TH-5, cast TH-5, detonation velocity.
