Ammonal (Explosive Made Up of Ammonium Nitrate) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ammonal is an explosive made up of ammonium nitrate, trinitrotoluene (TNT), and aluminium powder. The ammonium nitrate functions as an oxidizer and aluminium as a power enhancer. To some extent the aluminium makes it more sensitive to detonation. The use of the relatively cheap ammonium nitrate and aluminium makes it a replacement for pure TNT.
