TNT also has good chemical and thermal stability, low volatility and hygroscopicity, good compatibility with other explosives, a low melting point for casting, and moderate toxicity. TNT is by far the most important explosive for blasting charges.
5. 5) was first prepared by Hoffmann and Roth in 1910 by the action of a neutral solution of sodium nitrite on aminoguanidine salts. In 1921, Rathsburg suggested the use of tetrazene in explosive compositions. 5) Tetrazene is slightly hygroscopic and stable at ambient temperatures. It hydrolyses in boiling water evolving nitrogen gas. Its ignition temperature is lower than that for mercury fulminate and it is slightly more sensitive to impact than mercury fulminate. e. its compaction. Tetrazene will detonate when it is not compacted but when pressed it produces a weaker detonation.
During World War 11, it was used as a component of explosive mixtures. Tetryl is a pale yellow, crystalline solid with a melting temperature of 129 "C. It is moderately sensitive to initiation by friction and percussion, and is used in the form of pressed pellets as primers for explosive compositions which are less sensitive to initiation. It is slightly more sensitive than picric acid, and considerably more sensitive than TNT. 7 wax (called Debrix). 10. TNT Trinitrotoluene (C,H,N,O,) can exist as six different isomers.
