Hey, i was wondering if anyone had any info on either Kinepouch of Kinestik explosives... like if it is low explosive/HE/detonation velocity/ingredients?
The reason why i am intrested is because here in Canada it is LEGAL for ANYONE
to actually mix the inexplosive component parts at or near the place of use...
TIA

Well, according to 2. - if the explosive is indeed AN an NM, then you cannot >mix them. Both substances are explosive.

AN alone is, as you already know, very insensitive. An explosive mixture
of a fuel and AN, e.g. ANFO is called a 'a blasting agent' or a tertiary explosive. Such an explosive isn't cap-sensitive, and in that case not
an explosive, at least not a secondary (please correct me if I'm wrong).
NM alone is also not explosive, only with a sentisizer. E.g. a strong
base. PLX is an explosive made of +/- 5% ethylenediamine and NM.
In the past one could transport NM in an ordinary truck. There have been
some accidents, so it might not be a tertiary explosive.
A half year ago, I got a mail from a policeofficer, that kinestick is a
mix of AN and NM. They stored it separated at the policestation.
(probably because of the fact, that the chemicals alone aren't
explosive).

BTW is it possible to buy sodium azide for a 'normal' reason. Or as a
common ingredient?
