Aluminum forms explosive mixtures with tetranitromethane (A. D. Kirshenbaum, 1956, Final Report on Fundamental Studies of New Explosive Reactions, Philadelphia, Research Institute of Temple University, pp. 4, 13).
Nitromethane is sensitized toward explosion by aluminum powder (Kato, Y. et al. 1979. Chemical Abstracts 91:159867; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2544).
Aluminum sensitizes many explosives, including nitrocellulose, TNT, and other nitro compounds (Stettbacher, A. 1944. Chemical Abstracts 38:4445).
