Tannerite™ Nitro Sticks are an affordable alterenative to conventional dynamite. A few of the benefits are listed here:

1. Binary explosives are not regulated by the Department of Transportation, eliminating costly shipping charges and requirements for the transporter. (currently 5 million dollars worth of liability is required to transport conventional explosives in "A" and "B" classifications.)

2. Tannerite is not regulated by state or federal law when in unmixed form. This means there is no need for costly powder magazines and storage facilities. There is no "table of distance" for storage, as is required for other explosives. Once Tannerite™ is mixed, it is a class "a" explosive and is subject to all applicable requirements unless used "on site" at the time of combining the components (ie - fuse, powder, liquid and detonator)

3. This product is sold as an explosive with a DSC (Date Shift Code) which can be used to trace it from the date of manufacture to the end user. Thsi prevents unlawful use, as well as allowing the responsible purchaser to keep personal records on amounts and dates of aquisition.

4. Nitro Sticks are more stable than any other explosive when unmixed and in unmixed form, they must be detonated with a number 8 blasting cap. Safety precautions still must be taken, however, not in the same manner one would deal with nitro gels and other sensitive explosives.

Here is a list of important notes when using Tannerite™ Nitro Sticks:

* Due to weather, sometimes the nitrogen retains humidity and hardens is the plastic tubes. One must be certain that the liquid additive is fully absorbed. This can be accomplished by pushing the rod which accompanies the case, into the center of the stick and down to the end of the rod. The catalyst will absorb quite readily when this is done by hand.

* Nitro Sticks are sold in unmixed form ONLY and the manufacturer assumes no liability for the use or missuse of this product. Work involving explosives can be dangerous to the untrained user. It is the reponsibility of the end user to know and understand his occupation. One such way is through explosive safety classes which are available through the Skylight High Explosives Corporation.
