apcqazwsx Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 What is AN? And what is "regular smoke mix"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEskimo Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I imagine that AN=Ammonium Nitrate. As for "regular smokemix", that could either apply to chlorate white smoke, as used in commercial smoke devices, those using zinc oxide/HCE such as the military, or the classic KNO3/sugar smokemix. Since he says that one can add paraffin, I would assume that this is added to the KNO3/sugar mix a la the 'legendary smokebomb.'Senz should really clarify on this point.

TheSidewinder Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yes, AN means Ammonium Nitrate here. I'll let the resident Chemists pipe in, but I wouldn't use this with a Chlorate mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yes, mixing with chlorate would be a death wish. I'd bet money that "normal" smoke mix is just KNO3/sugar. It'd be somewhat incompatible with Zinc/HCE too due to nitrate/zinc reactions. It behaves similarly to aluminum. You may see this very prominantly in Negative-X type mixes that ignite on contact with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
