Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is by far the most important explosive for blasting charges of all weapons.
Military grade TNT is widely used as a bursting charge for high explosive shells, aircraft bombs,
grenades, naval mines and etc. It is also used in boosters, detonators, demolition charges and as an ingredient in slurries and for mining industries.
General Features
- Trinitrotoulene (TNT) C1HsN306. Appearance and Color: pale yellow to dark brown flake, without mechanical impurities.
- TNT is widely used, especially in military industry. Most often it is used in the production of artillery munitions, anti-personnel and anti-tank mines, air grenades, hand grenades and the other kinds of explosive mines, but also in the production of industrial explosives and detonators.
- TNT is by far the most important explosive for blasting charges of all weapons. Either alone or mixed in givenproportions with other high explosives such as HMX to form octol, RDX to form hexotol, hexogen and aluminium to form hexotonal, PE TN to form pentolite, etc. A mixture of TNT and HNS, known as TNT /HNS improved the fine crystalline phase and prevents from the formation of cracks. It is used in tank and artillery munitions shaped charges, bombs, etc.
- In the field of high explosives for defense, the technology transfer for the batch production of RD X can be offered, based on a turnkey system
