The detonatability of 3,4-dinitrofurazanfuroxan (DNTF) and 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (ɛ-polymorph, CL-20) and mixtures thereof with polydimethylsiloxane rubber was studied. The dependences of the critical detonation diameter for the mixtures on the HE content and of pure DNTF and CL-20 on their specific surface area within 400–8000 cm 2 /g were examined. It was established that the detonatabilities of DNTF and CL-20 are close to those of PETN and HMX, respectively.
