Water Gel Explosive
A water-gel or or a slurry is a fuel sensitized explosive mixture consisting of an aqueous ammonium nitrate solution that acts as the oxidizer. Water gels that are cap-insensitive are not strictly explosives and are referred to as blasting agents. Water gel explosives have a jelly-like consistency and come in sausage-like packing and are stapled shut on both sides.
