Acetone peroxide is a primary explosive that can be made from hair bleach
(hydrogen peroxide), acetone, and sulfuric acid. This explosive is to be used
in the fabrication of detonators.
MATERIALS AND THEIR SOURCES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[1] Hydrogen Peroxide
- Hair bleach (15-25 volume content)
- Drug stores and hair supply stores
[2] Acetone
- Hardware stores, drug stores
[3] Sulfuric Acid
- Clear battery acid boiled until white fumes appear
[4] Eye dropper or syringe with glass tube
[5] Graduated cylinder (cc or ml) or other measuring device
[6] Thermometer (0 to 100 degrees C.)
[7] Glass containers
[8] Large pan
[9] Ice and salt
[10] Water
[11] Paper Towels
PROCEDURE
=-=-=-=-=
[1] Measure 30 milliliters of acetone and 50 milliliters of hydrogen peroxide
into a glass container and mix thoroughly.
[2] Cool the acetone/peroxide mixture by placing its container in a larger one
containing a mixture of ice, salt, and water.
NOTE: Because of the lighter inner container being buoyant in the larger outer
~~~~~ container, it is necessary to secure it so that it won't fall over into
the ice, salt, water mixture.
[3] Cool the acetone/peroxide mixture to 5 degrees C.
[4] Add 2.5 milliliters of concentrated sulfuric acid to the acetone/peroxide
mixture slowly, drop by drop, with the use of an eye dropper. Stir the
mixture during the addition of the sulfuric acid with a thermometer,
keeping the temperature between 5 - 10 degrees C. Should the temperature
rise above 10 degrees C., stop adding the sulfuric acid and continue
stirring until the temperature drops again to 5 degrees C., then continue
adding the sulfuric acid.
[5] After all the sulfuric acid has been added, continue stirring the mixture
for another five minutes.
[6] Let the acetone/peroxide/sulfuric acid mixture stand in the ice/water/salt
bath or remove the inner container and place it in an ice box for 12 to 24
hours.
[7] After 12 hours white crystals of acetone peroxide will precipitate out of
the once clear solution. Precipitation should be completed after 24 hours.
CAUTION: At this point the mixture is a primary explosive. Keep away from
~~~~~~~~ shock, friction and flame.
[8] Filter the mixture through a paper towel into a container to collect the
solid particles.
[9] Wash the solid particles collected in the paper towel with small amounts of
ice cold water poured over them. Discard the liquid in the container.
[10] Place these explosive crystals in a container and allow to dry.
CAUTION: Handle the dry crystals with great care. Do not scrape or handle it
~~~~~~~~ roughly. Keep away from sparks or open flame. Store in a cool,
dark, dry place.
HOW TO USE:
=-=-=-=-=-=
Acetone peroxide is a powerful initiator and can be used by itself as the main
filler when making homemade detonators. Using 2-1/2" lengths of brass or
copper tubing with one end sealed shut with either solder or epoxy resin, begin
by partially filling the tube with acetone peroxide and compressing with a
loading press. Continue this process until the explosive is within 1/2" of the
top. Stopper the open end tightly with a cork or wood stopper. When ready to
use, remove stopper and insert time fuse. Seal around fuse and tube and insert
into the main charge to a depth of 2". These caps will detonate most
explosives.
