EXPLOSIVE COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING AN ASSOCIATION COMPOUND OF AMMONIUM NITRATE AND GLYCINE

摘要

The invention relates to a new explosive compound which is an associated compound of ammonium nitrate and glycine and also includes explosive composition containing this compound. The compound ANGC is prepared by a crystallisation process preferably effected by cooling a melt or saturated solution containing ammonium nitrate and glycine. ANGC is especially advantageous as an ingredient of low water content emulsion explosive compositions.
