Ammonium Nitrate Explosives(NH4NO3) tend to be very difficult to detonate, it melts at 180C, it holds 378cal/g of energy and has a detonating velocity of 3460m/s.

A one KG blast can be heard for 7km upwind.

The explosive must be confined or most of it will scatter. Because it has excess oxygen it mixes well with other high explosives (nitroglycerine,TNT)
