Triprolidine. The explosive antihistamine when mixed with gasoline


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triprolidine

Triprolidine (Actidil, Myidil, Actifed[In combination with pseudoephedrine, and either dextromethorphan or guaifenesin] in addition in liquids) is an over-the-counter antihistamine with anticholinergic properties. It is used to combat the symptoms associated with allergies and is sometimes combined with other cold medications designed to provide general relief for flu-like symptoms. Like many antihistamines, the most common side effect is drowsiness. Triprolidine is a quick acting drug that can clear congestion and stop runny noses in 15-30 minutes.

Note that this explosive is spelled "Tripolodine" on the jug in the "Riding With Death" movie.
And it is as blue as Windex.

And it really is a shame that they failed to use "Tripolodine" + Gasoline as a high-power time-delay binary liquid-explosive given that it failed as a fuel additive.

It would work well for certain tactical maneuvers where storage stability is crucial, but time of demolition is not so critical.
