343 Triethyleneglycol Dinitrate<br />

thus losing its initiating power. This reaction reaches<br />

at 20 °C = 68 °F after 3 years: 2.7%<br />

at 35 °C = 95 °F after 1 year: 9.5%<br />

at 50 °C = 122 °F after 10 days: 2.6%<br />

at 50 °C = 122 °F after 6 years: 50%<br />

TATNB can be “dead pressed”, like mercury fulminate.<br />

Tricycloacetone Peroxide<br />

Acetonperoxid; peroxyde de tricycloacétone<br />

colorless crystals<br />

empirical formula: C9H18O6<br />

molecular weight: 222.1<br />

oxygen balance: –151.3%<br />

melting point: 91 °C = 196 °F<br />

lead block test: 250 cm3 /10 g<br />

impact sensitivity: 0.03 kp m = 0.3 N m<br />

friction sensitivity: reaction at 0.01 kp = 0.1 N<br />

pistil load<br />

This compound is formed from acetone in sulfuric acid solution when<br />

acted upon by 45% hydrogen peroxide. It displays the properties of<br />

primary explosives. It is not used in practice because of its tendency to<br />

sublimation and the relatively high friction sensitivity.<br />

Triethyleneglycol Dinitrate<br />

triglycol dinitrate; Triglykoldinitrat; dinitrate de triéthyleneglycol; TEGN<br />

pale yellow liquid<br />

empirical formula: C6H12N2O8
