Explosives on the basis of dinitro glycol uril

摘要

The novel compound, tetranitroglycoluril, is described having a stability under vacuum of 6 cm3/g/100 hours at 110 DEG C. The compound exhibits a rate of detonation at least equal to 9,073 meters per second under a density charge of 1.94, has a decomposition temperature of about 200 DEG C. and is stable at a temperature of up to 100 DEG C. at normal pressure. It may be dried at 65 DEG C. The brisance value by the Friedrich's formula is 159.7x106. The rate of detonation and brisance value are superior to octogen.
