During the experiments, it became clear that CuO can be replaced by CuCl2. In water heating process, this creates Cu(ClO4)2 + NH4Cl. Given presence of
hexamine in solution, perhaps something else as well. Which, according to the result, contributes to brizantion. Other values are the same as in the
experiments described above. So density of output segment is 1.5g/cc per 300mg. The crater depth of 3.1 mm is largest of all investigated variants.
Which is interesting result.

Brightelite
Since Brightelite is non-wetting and essentially just an ordinary pyrotechnic compound, it was re-examined. This time to transfer detonation from
basic detonator to booster. Test was successful. Output segment of basic detonator (300mg cavity 6) had same density as booster, i.e. 1.5g/cm3 (1g
cavity 8). VoD at booster output is estimated at 3 - 3.5 km/s. Which is quite a bit for a booster. But, for example, for secondary mixtures based on
TACN, this brisance and power of initiation is sufficient. From which it follows that some more sensitive secondary EMs can be initiated only with
this common pyrotechnic composition. Brightelite thus provides advantage that its brisance may be sufficient for some secondary materials itself.

What perchlorate do you get when you add copper sulphate to barium perchlorate (in solution) and get a ppt of insoluble barium sulphate with copper
perchlorate in solution. Is it I or II, CuCl04 or Cu(ClO4)2
Barium Perchlorate is Ba(ClO4)2

If you start with copper(II) sulfate then you get Cu(ClO4)2 the copper remains as Cu(II).

Verification experiments were carried out on stability of newly developed substances. Brightelite appears to be stable after one month of
manufacture and cavity filling. And it can initiate ETNs. Lithex is also stable after 2 months from production and filling. Lithex requires a hermetic
seal against moisture after filling. For example, insulation from polyisobutylene rubber (PIB), as in this case.

Is there any preparation instructions for Brightelite? Is it simply mechanically mixed together dry, or is a solvent used with the nitrocellulose
(acetone, etc.) to form a putty and then pushed through a screen to granulate?

Preparation of Brightelite for lazy readers is on page 9 of this thread.
