I CANT find it. Its so damn frustrating and I am to the point that I am debating on starting a business to become an exploding target maker.
I live in a place surrounded by farmland and even the HUGE co-op doesnt sell it because "urea does the same thing" Someone tell me where to get it. I am absolutely sick of looking. Any help finding this would be appreciated. I am tired of people marketing tannerite and making bank on something that can be done for so cheap with AN and some AL powder  . If there is anywhere online that will sell it please let me know. I dont care to give my license number or whatever it takes to get some.

If you ever did find some locally, you probably could make some beer money vacuum packing it and selling it online. At least until it's finally outlawed completely.
My wag on that is sometime in the next couple of years. |

It's pretty spooky how the government can effectively ban something, without even passing new laws. Just by harassing the people who sell the stuff.
It's been very difficult to get for several years now. Same thing with flashpowder grade aluminum powder. It's the new America: Banned through bureaucratic harassment. |

Inthered is way cheaper. You don't really need lab purity ammonium nitrate to do splodey targets. |

I bet I can get it.
It isn't urea is it? We use urea in one of our blends now. The AL power, you just grind it if you can't get the right consistency. I looked at doing it a few years ago and never really pursued it. I would do it in 5 gal with a 50 pail minimum and sell them to people who want to repackage it in smaller packs.and resell it to others. I wouldn't want to fuck with any quantities any smaller than that though, |

Urea really seems to have taken hold - it's a lot cheaper than Ammonium Nitrate - it can't all be about explosives. Urea is better as it has more nitrogen per unit of mass. Also, it doesn't have storage issues of ammonium nitrate but is still somewhat corrosive. But getting it relatively free of biuret is difficult. Testing for it is easy. Urea is easier to make, the nitric acid needed to make AN comes from ammonia which is made in the Haber Process that reacts atmospheric nitrogen with hydrogen. Then ammonia is partially oxidized with addition of steam to make HNO3. More energy. The reaction of nitric acid with ammonia also releases a lot of waste heat. All of which comes from the Haber process, meaning lost energy. Urea is also made from ammonia but instead of hydrogen, carbon dioxide is used. Carbon dioxide is far cheaper than hydrogen. |

This al makes AN way more sensitive than others. Trust me it's the way to go. starmolecule.com.

Yeah, but I'm not a feed store, I'm chemical manufacturer. If it is a chemical, I can buy it by the truckload if I want. Even the DEA regulated stuff. I don't fuck with any of it, but if we want it we can get it. We are a legitimate chemical manufacturing company with 20 years in the business. All I'm required to do is sign documents stating I'm not doing anything illegal with it. However that said, every time it has come up in the last 20 years, we just decline to sell the product and send whoever is wanting it directly to our supplier and let them fuck with it since we mainly blend cleaning chemicals and don't resell a lot of raw chemicals especially to some jackass who walks in off the street. To be fair, most of the time that some individual calls and wants "red phosphorus" or "potassium permanganate" they are probably looking to make meth so i don't fuck with them. I just send them to my supplier and let them tell them to get fucked or investigate if they are legit. If they are legit, they can save a lot of money by cutting me out anyway. Something like this might be worth it. It isn't like I would resell the raw material to anyone so I would feel OK doing it. I also need to check Texas law on manufacturing restrictions of a binary explosive and make sure I don't need a specific license. |

Meaning soil temperature and moisture is needed to turn ammonical nitrogen into nitrate. Using anhydrous ammonia requires soil moisture, otherwise it evaporates and you get low nitrogen yield. Plus it would be damn painful. But urea can be applied anytime so that is why it doesn't seem to be equivalent to nitrate since mineral nitrates don't evaporate/volatilize. |
