Astrolite explosives are known as the world’s most powerful non-nuclear explosive. Ammonium nitrate mixes with anhydrous hydrazine makes this explosive. It produces a clear liquid explosive called Astrolite G. When aluminum powder is added to the Hydrazinium Nitrate slurry forms Astrolite A-1-5. Astrolite G is a clear liquid explosive that produces a very high detonation velocity that is almost twice as powerful as TNT.
