A completely new family of explosives has been developed with entirely
new properties, giving rise to revolutionary application concepts that never
before have been possible with conventional explosives.
The most significant of the new explosives are Astrolite A-1-5, said to
be the world's MOST POWERFUL NON-NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVE, and Astrolite-G, claimed to
be the world's highest detonation-velocity liquid explosive. Both explosives
are remarkably safe to handle and are unusually versatile. Both also can be
mixed from nondetonable components.
Astrolite explosives are a product of advanced rocket propellant
technology. They were discovered quite by accident in the 1960's by
research personnel investigating a so-called rocket propellant that proved
so powerful that it consistently destroyed rockets on the test stand.
Astrolite explosives are formed when ammonium nitrate is mixed with
anhydrous hydrazine. Extensive solvolysis occurs with the liberation of
large amounts of ammonia gas and a new compound (hydrazonium nitrate) is
formed and remains in solution.
This produces a clear liquid explosive called
Astrolite G. When aluminum powder (100 mesh or finer) is added, it forms
Astrolite A-1-5.

It's alot easier to blame the government than to do a little research I guess.:rolleyes:
Have a good one!:thumbsup:
