Table 11.4 Metal oxides mixed with NaNj to formulate NaN3 pyrolants.

Lead azide (Pb(N3)2), sodium azide (NaN3), and silver azide (AgN3) are azides of metals. Since these metal azides are very sensitive to mechanical shock and easy to detonate, these are used as pyrolants for initiators and igniters of propellants and explosives.
