Trinitronaphthalene is similar to dinitrobenzene as regards its explosive power. Before and during World War I it was fairly widely used, first in France and later in Germany, for filling shells, mostly in fusible mixtures with TNT. [Pg.434]

Initially it was known as Naphtite , later as Trinal . Its other names are TN and TNN. [Pg.434]

The maximum rate of detonation of trinitronaphthalene is about 5140 m/sec (Calvet [32]). [Pg.434]
