NOBEL GELATINE DYNAMITE.}
NOBEL GELIGNITE. } Under these names explosives were introduced during the War with modified compositions, the potassium nitrate being replaced by sodium nitrate, and the percentage of nitroglycerine being reduced.
NOBELIT is a German blasting explosive containing blasting gelatine, carbonaceous substances, inorganic nitrates and sodium or potassium chloride.
AMMON-NOBELIT contains ammonium nitrate, and the proportion of [blasting gelatine] is limited to 4 per cent. It may contain sodium or potassium oxalate, and various other substances that are not present in Nobelit.
