We also make sure to tell all customers that they need to check with their local law enforcement before using tannerite as a target practice. It is and always will be against the law to "blow" anything up with the use of Tannerite. Tannerite is a Binary Explosive, meaning it has to be mixed with our catalyst before it becomes an explosive. Using our product accordingly, it is not dangerous and can be fun and safe. Tannerite doesn't agree or condone the improper use of our products being used.

It’s an implosive compound, disrupts the air around it so abruptly it looks and sounds like an explosion." The reason people don't understand that it isn't an explosive is because it IS an explosive when the two parts are mixed. It releases a large amount of energy in a very short time and the gases produced expand explosively to make the BOOM. (There is no such thing as an "implosive compound" because that would be one which suddenly shrunk. It expands. If there were such a thing, you would not see craters where they went off, or pieces of shrapnel flying away from it if enclosed; what you would see -- but don't -- would be a lot of material sucked toward the center of the implosion.) The fact that shock sets it off rather than fire or temperature or being hit by a hammer does not change the fact that it IS set off and does create an explosion. David for reality and truth (and cool fireworks,of course) REGARDING:

I understand that you should be able to do what you want on your property, but to cause damage to other peoples property in the process is a problem.

He was asleep in his recliner, it woke him up. It scared us to death!! I can't believe this is not illegal!! If nothing else, it should be considered, "disturbing the peace!

When someone a half mile away sets off tannerite that is loud enough to be heard by me inside my home that is uncalled for. When I read it's ok "if proper precautions are taken" i wonder if anyone sets it off in their area. I also know that all sorts of bombs can be made from all sorts of things. I'm remember "The Anarchy Cookbook" "Turner Diaries" and all of the rest. Some things are not called for. A friend who has 200 acres of property has to pull down deer stands all the time be cause some people can't read signs to stay off of his property. Property right does not give someone else the right to do any thing they want. It only causes more rules and laws--- some needed some not. Simple things such as respecting your neighbors peace and rights. A lot of us who have been in the molino area for 30 plus years came to enjoy the peace and quiet.

It's an implosive compound, disrupts the air around it so abruptly it looks and sounds like an explosion. Yes it dangerous if not used safely and properly, but it will only go off if the user wants it to. Will not react unless it's in a full, airtight container, AND is struck with a very small amount of mass, at an extremely high velocity. Most commonly a .223 (5x56) round. Even just a .22 doesn't have the speed to activate the compound. Doubt it shook houses unless it's likeep jj said and it's a 55 gallon drum One thing most people don’t understand is that tannerite isn’t an explosive compound, it doesn’t create any sort of combustion, heat won’t ignite it.
