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.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: These detonators should be used within 7 days of their manufacture and
|
|
~~~~~ should be stored in a cool, dry place.
