LIGDYN is a nitroglycerine explosive similar to American dynamite made in South Africa. 40 per cent. Ligdyn consists of—
| Nitroglycerine | 40 |
| Sodium nitrate | 45 |
| Wood meal | 13 |
| Wheat flour | 2 |
*LIGHTNING.—A 33-grain smokeless shot-gun powder made by the Schultze Gunpowder Co. See [Schultze Powder].
LIGNOSIT is a German blasting explosive containing a considerable percentage of ammonium nitrate. Lignosit I. contains also aromatic nitro-compounds, of which not more than 15 per cent. must be trinitro-compounds or wood meal, and not more than 6 per cent. of potassium nitrate, not more than I per cent. of collodion cotton and bauxite or salts, such as sodium chloride or carbonate.
Lignosit II. may contain up to 10 per cent. of collodion cotton, but no wood meal or nitro-compounds. It is somewhat sensitive.
