Reactivity Profile
AMATOL is an explosive mixture of AMMONIUM NITRATE and TRINITROTOLUENE. Both components react with oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. May explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents.
Air and Water ReactionsAmmonium nitrate is water soluble, whereas trinitrotoluene is not.
