Initiating explosives (fulminate of mercury wet with not less than 25% by weight of water).

Detonating primers are devices for commercial use which contain a detonator and an additional charge of explosives, all assembled in a suitable envelope. The total weight of explosives is more than 150 grains per unit.

Do not stow detonating primers with any high explosive. Do not load at the same time as high explosives are being loaded.

Each outside container must be plainly marked "Detonating primers-Handle carefully."

No label required. Stowage: Magazine... Outside containers:

Wooden boxes:

(DOT-14, 15A. 16A) WIC, not over 150 lb. gr. wt.

Fiberboard boxes:

(DOT-12H, 23F, 23H) WIC, not over 75 lb. gr. wt.

Transportation prohibited...

Outside containers:

For safety in transportation No label required. Stowage: Magazine... these substances are packed wet with water. Therefore, observe outside containers for signs of leakage.

Reject

leaking containers or ones showing signs of having leaked.

Do not handle these substances at the same time as high explosives are being loaded. In handling and in stowage, avoid exposure to shock, friction, heat, and open flame.

Sufficient outage in outside containers must be allowed to prevent rupture of container in freezing weather, or a mixture of denatured ethyl alcohol and water may be used to prevent freezing in transit.

Each outside barrel, drum, or keg must be plainly marked "Initiating ExplosiveDangerous-Do not store or load with any high explosive."

Initiating explosives (lead styphnate, lead trinitror esorcinate-wet with not less than 20% by weight of water).

Initiating explosives (lead mononitroresorcinate, wet with not less than 40% by weight of water).

For safety in transportation these substances are packed wet with water. Therefore, observe outside containers for signs of leakage. Reject leaking containers or ones showing signs of having leaked.
