Urea Nitrate: similar to AN M/S, form: colorless crystals, impact-friction-sens: low, water sens: moderate. Moderately powerful explosive that is quite simple to manufacture and relatively safe to handle. The main drawback is that it should be used within 30 days of manufacture as the chemical stability is poor.
Material: Urea 20% solution 3 parts, Nitric acid (90%) 1 part. If possible, cool all materials to 10 celsius. Pour the urea solution into the acid-resistant container. Very slowly STIR the nitric acid into the urea solution. Let the mixture stand for 1 hour. Urea nitrate crystals will settle out of the mixture during this time. Filter urea nitrate crystals out of the liquid using the filter paper and discard the liquid. Slowly pour 1 part of COLD water over the crystals to wash them. The material can be dried using a hot water bath. Place a small amount of material in the bottom of an acid resistant container. Fill a pan with hot water (90 celsius) and then place the container in the pan. Refill the pan with hot water as it cools. Store the material in an acid resistant container.
Detonation: blasting cap
Difficulty to produce: EASY,

Long term storage: The main drawback of the material is that it cannot be stored for extended periods of time due to a poor chemical stability. It is recommended that the material be used within 30 days of manufacture.
