EXPLOSIVE DOUBLE SALTS AND PREPARATION ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Applicants have discovered a new composition of matter which is an explosive addition compound of ammonium ni- trate (AN) and diethylenetriamine trinitrate (DETN) a 50:50 molar ratio. The compound is stable over extended periods of time only at temperatures higher than 46°C, decomposing to a fine-grained eutectic mixture (which is also believed to be new) of AN and DETN at temperatures lower than 46°C. The compound of the invention has an x-ray density of 1.61 g/cm3, explodes to form essential- ly only gaseous products, has higher detonation properties (i.e., detonation velocity and pressure) than those of any mechanical mixture having the same density and composition as the compound of the invention, is a quite insensitive explosive material, can be cast at temperatures attainable by high pressure steam, and is prepared from inexpensive ingredients. Methods of preparing the compound of the in- vention and the fine-grained eutectic composition of the invention are given.
