Just over 100g of AN/MEKP,detonated on the surface with a couple of grams of HMTD. This was really just a test of the quality of my home made NH4NO3.

  • NH4NO3 made from [NH4]2SO4 or NH4OH and HNO3..nice though..u should buy some NM works a treat as ANNM likewise UNNM. :)..wish i could get barrels of h2so4 and hno3 like u..dreams.

  • Made by neutralizing HNO3 with NH4OH, IMO if you've got the HNO3 to spare it's the best method, I got 120g of NH4NO3 from 100ml of HNO3, with no by products other than water, which obviously is easy to evaporate away. With the [NH4]2SO4 method you have to separate the SO4 of whatever nitrate salt you use from you NH4NO3. I might try ANNM, though this was really just an experiment to test my NH4NO3.

  • @FTC220294 thanks for the reply :)

  • @minkify you should get it in paint factories, harware stores and wood restoration shops...

  • @slither888 i found is very easy to make homemade nitric acid... very low concentration, but very cheap and will do for making AN... if you live in a country not hard to get the ammonia...

  • you don't need nitric acid for mekp, I spose it's to make AN from ammonia... try looking for a PH adjuster though, also photographic developing chemicals and electroplating supplies.

  • where did you get your methyl ethyl ketone?

  • What were the ratios did you used, I have had beautiful results with

    1.1ml MEKP : 10 grams AN

  • Hello just wonder if you done some calculations on the stabilty on MEKP/AN??? I Would really like to know if this is a good blasting cap alternitive/booster.. Please write back greetings KAlle..

  • ive been haveing a hard time getting a holt of a decent nitric acid (any ideas)

  • But good job on the det.
