Abstract
A two-component explosive composition is disclosed in which each of the components, in and of themselves, is non-detonable. At the use site, the components are readily mixed to form a No. 6 cap-sensitive explosive composition. The composition includes (1) a solid dry component, preferably granular ammonium nitrate or like solid oxidizer and (2) a liquid component for admixture with the dry component consisting essentially of a non-self reacting compound with a fuel value of less than 5 kcal./gm. in which is dispersed 2% to 40% by weight based on the weight of the dry composition of a lower nitro-aliphatic fuel.
