    The document provides instructions for synthesizing acetone peroxide (AP), a primary high explosive. It lists the necessary materials, which include hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetone. The synthesis involves combining these ingredients at cold temperatures, allowing crystals to form overnight, then filtering and drying the product, which is a shock-sensitive white powder. A note emphasizes that AP is unstable and dangerous, so the process must be followed carefully.

    Here is a fairly detailed synth to make Acetone Peroxide (AP).

    Note this is a high explosive


    and should NOT be made by any inexperienced people.

    Materials
    • 30% Hydrochloric acid
    • 3% or 6% H2o2 peroxide
    • Acetone

    Equipment
    • 60ml syringe
    • Two 30ml syringes
    • Two glass jars
    • Fridge
    • Thermometer
    • Coffee filters

    First put the H2o2, acetone and a glass jar in the freezer for an hour or so to bring the
    temp down to around 0 degrees Celsius.

    Measure out 25ml of acetone using a 30ml syringe and put it in the chilled jar. Then add
    75ml of 6% H2o2 or 150ml of 3% using the 60ml syringe (adjust according to purity) then
    put it back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.

    Next measure out 20ml of 30%HCl in the other 30ml syringe and add it SLOWLY! and
    swish it around a little then put it in the fridge overnight or some where just below 10
    degrees is better.

    After 12-18 hours there will be little white crystals on the bottom, these are AP so be
    careful!

    Take a coffee filter and put it over the second jar, next pour all the liquid and AP into the
    filter and let it drain through leaving a whitish paste on the filter.

    Take the filter away from the jar and leave it to sit on some newspaper in the air to dry
    out for a while. When it's dry it will look like a white powder.

    Notes
    Try to keep it as cool as possible while doing the synth...

    Don't rush it!

    This is a high explosive and should be treated with respect!

    It's heat and friction sensitive and cannot be stored safely for more than a week even
    when it's stored under water.

    When it's dry it's ready for use.


    Acetone Peroxide

    Acetone Peroxide is a Primary High Explosive. It is


    susceptible to heat, friction, and shock. However the
    instability is greatly altered by impurities. It is normally
    fairly stable when pure. It is not easily soluble in water. It
    is more stable and less sensitive when wet and is there
    fore usually stored wet, in water.

    Shock Senstitive Very High/Moderate When


    Wet
    Friction Sensitive Very High/Moderate When
    Wet
    Explosive Velocity Up to 5300 m/s

    Ingredients

    • 30% Hydrochloric acid


    • 3% or 6% H2o2 peroxide
    • Acetone
