Source sentences:
text: A primary explosive is an explosive that is extremely sensitive to stimuli such as impact, friction, heat, static electricity, or electromagnetic radiation.
text: As a practical measure, primary explosives are sufficiently sensitive that they can be reliably initiated with a blow from a hammer; however, PETN can also usually be initiated in this manner, so this is only a very broad guideline.
text: For example, primary explosives are so sensitive that they need to be stored and shipped in a wet state to prevent accidental initiation.
text: A high explosive compound detonates at rates ranging from 1,000 to 9,000 meters per second, and are, conventionally, subdivided into two explosives classes, differentiated by sensitivity: Primary high explosives are extremely sensitive to mechanical shock, friction, and heat, to which they will respond by burning rapidly or detonating.
text: Contact explosives are a part of a group of explosives called primary explosives which are also very sensitive to stimuli but not to the degree of contact explosives.
text: A primary explosive - is one that is VERY sensitive to heat,
text: They are very sensitive to shock, heat, and electricity and, therefore, must be handled with great care.
