AnWax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anwax is an explosive that consists of ammonium nitrate, floor wax, and sometimes aluminum powder. It is not very powerful and is easier to detonate than ANFO[citation needed]. It absorbs water from the air quickly rendering it useless. Anwax only sees use in terrorist attacks [citation needed] because of much better explosives available to professionals. It takes a large detonator or even a powerful booster charge to detonate it. When the aluminum powder is added, it should only need a very large blasting cap.
