The invention discloses a production process of a special pyrogen for digital electronic detonators. The pyrogen is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 8-12 parts of potassium chlorate or potassium perchlorate, 6-10 parts of lead thiocyanate, and 2-4 parts of nitrocellulose parts; the production process includes the following steps: (1), put nitrocellulose, butyl acetate or ethyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive into the rubber mixing bucket and stir evenly to prepare a 3-10% concentration by mass Binder solution; (2), mix potassium chlorate or potassium perchlorate, lead thiocyanate, and the binder solution gained in step (1) according to the above-mentioned parts by weight, and fully stir them evenly with bakelite sticks to prepare the ignition powder; Then, cover it with a damp cloth, put the primer in a glass desiccator for standby, and keep the primer in an environment with a humidity of 60% to 80%. The invention guarantees the reliability and high precision of the detonation of the digital electronic detonator, the manufacturing process is simple, and the performance of the produced pyrotechnic powder is stable.
