Conditions

Temperature
70 °C

Procedure

Eighty-five (85) parts of porous prill ammonium nitrate (average particle size, 1.7 mm; oil absorbency, 17%) preheated to 70° C., and 14 parts of a liquid dinitrotoluene mixture which was prepared by mixing 2,4-dinitrotoluene with 2,6-dinitrotoluene and heating at 70° C. were thoroughly mixed using a horizontal kneader equipped with a sigma wing, thereby obtaining a granular explosive of the present invention. After cooling, the granular explosive and 1 part of flake-shaped aluminium (P-0100; manufactured by Toyo Aluminium) were mixed using a horizontal kneader. The thus obtained explosive was recovered from the kneader and packed in a paper shell.
