Patent ID: 8187397

Claim:
A non-explosive emulsion having a density between 1.30 g/cm 3 and 1.40 g/cm 3 to be selectively activated by a gas-producing agent resulting in an explosive emulsion having a density between 0.50 g/cm 3 and 0.90 g/cm 3 , and said non-explosive emulsion consisting essentially of between 84% and 95% by weight of an oxidizing solution and between 5% and 16% by weight of a fuel solution, said oxidizing solution consisting essentially of: A) from 60% to 80% by weight of ammonium nitrate; B) from 2% to 16% by weight of sodium nitrate; C) from 0.1% to 2% by weight of thiourea; D) from 14% to 22% by weight of water; and E) from 2% to 12% by weight of urea, and said fuel solution consisting essentially of: F) from 10% to 30% by weight of an emulsifier; G) from 10% to 40% by weight of oil; H) from 10% to 70% by weight of diesel No. 2 fuel; I) from 0.1% to 10% by weight of solid cacao fat; and J) from 0.1% to 30% by weight of stearic acid.
