Formulas For Ammonium Nitrate Compounds
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(Note: In the Anarchist Cookbook, there are originally 61 formulas. I am
|
|
only including 10 of the 61 here for two reasons: 1) To cut disk space, and
|
|
2) Most of the formulas are VERY similar)
|

The formulas listed above are for high explosives. They are not for
|
|
cherry bombs or Roman candles. The ingredients that make up these formulas
|
|
have several functions: The first is the explosive agent itself, the second is
|
|
the stabilizing agent, and third is a texturizer (paraffin). Below are listed
|
|
the most important and common ingredients that are used to form an explosive
|
|
compound, and a description of their purpose and function.
|
|
|
|
[Ammonium Nitrate]: An extremely unstable, white explosive, usually in
|
|
crystalline form.
|
|
[Aluminum]: A silver metallic powder, when in pyro grade, it is a major
|
|
ingredient in many ammonal explosive compounds.
|
|
[Ammonium Oxalate]: A very valuable stabilizing agent, especially for nitro.
|
|
[Barium Nitrate]: Nitrated barium, in white crystalline powdered form.
|
|
[Charcoal Powder]: A fine black powder, which is extremely absorbent, and used
|
|
extensively in pyrotechnics.
|
|
[Guncotton]: Nitrated cellulose (sawdust) is fairly stable, but usually used
|
|
with other ingredients rather than alone. It is about 13-14% nitrogen.
|
|
[Naphthalene]: This is a sensitizing agent that is normally in a white
|
|
crystalline form.
|
|
[Paraffin]: This is a primary ingredient in plastique, and acts as a
|
|
texturizer.
|
|
[Potassium Nitrate]: An explosive compound in itself, which is stable. It is
|
|
usually in a white crystalline form.
|
|
[Potassium Perchloride]: A white powder used as an igniting agent in high
|
|
explosives. It is an extremely common ingredient in low explosives.
|
|
[Resin]: A gummy substance, which is flammable, and used in high explosives as
|
|
an igniting agent.
|
|
[Sodium Carbonate]: This white crystalline powder acts to neutralize acid,
|
|
which may make the explosive more unstable than it normally is.
|
|
[Sodium Chloride]: This is nothing more than ordinary table salt, and is used
|
|
as a cooling agent in many high explosives.
|
|
[Sodium Nitrate]: A stable explosive compound which has the advantage of
|
|
being water-absorbent.
|
|
[Sodium Sulfate]: A stabilizing powder, which is water-resistant.
|
|
[Starch]: This can be either potato or corn starch, and acts as an absorbent
|
|
in many explosive compounds.
|
|
[Sulfur]: A yellow crystalline powder, which should be used in flour form
|
|
only.
|
|
[Vaseline]: A clear petroleum jelly used in a similar manner as paraffin, as
|
|
a plasticizer, for many forms of exploding gelatins and plastic
|
|
explosives.
