非防水炸药

[Kenny同志]

I came upon a chemical term 非防水炸药 and tried googling for its English translation. But GOOGLE returned only five results for the words ("non waterproof explosive ") I typed into the search box, so I am kind of suspicious about the translation.

Is there anyone who could tell me whether it is the correct translation, and if it is whether there is any other more frequently-used term. Thanks a billion!

PS: If you are a professional please add a "P" at the end of your input, thanks.

I imagine such a term is not really all that common anyway.

You might consider "non-water resistant explosive".

The fact that it's at least used in those technical books is I think sufficient to offset the fact that a web search doesn't turn up many results.

(P.S. although not a translator by profession, some of my work has involved translation).

Thanks, Imron, I think this version will do.
