How is Naplam made?

Anonymous

∙ 14y ago

Updated: 5/26/2024

Napalm is typically made by mixing a thickening agent, like polystyrene or gasoline, with a liquid fuel, like gasoline or diesel, before adding a gelating agent to create the sticky napalm substance. It is important to note that the production, possession, and use of napalm are regulated under international law due to its destructive and inhumane nature.
