I have no idea. Chances of a mix that violently burns at 1300 degrees being under regulation somewhere in the wide world are not that slim.

- angersock 13y agoIt's useful for fixing cracks in cast iron and joining rails, so I don't see why it'd be regulated.
- jlgreco 13y agoSomething being regulated does not mean that it can't be used industrially. Many types of explosives are regulated even though they are used industrially every day in quarries and mines. Still, restricting thermite would be silly and ineffective. As a chem-lab assistant, I made the stuff in highschool. Aluminum powder is widely available and rather cheap, as is iron oxide (obviously ;). I also made cupric oxide thermite, but that didn't work as well.
