That resulted in the introduction of fireproofed sodium chlorate.

I've always wondered what the chemistry of this was. Probably not a good
idea even to ask about it now!


It was mixed with at least 32% of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate or
borax, along with an anti-caking agent. I don't see any problems with
publishing details of how to *stop* something being used in an
explosive. These days I would probably get locked up for what we did in
sixth form chemistry lessons though.
