TATP is unique in that it is a material that never received any serious consideration for military or commercial applications. It was studied by numerous groups, but primarily for academic reasons. Minimal literature references exist on it. TATP was first reported by Wolfenstein in 1895 [6], Since that time, numerous recipes have been developed for its preparation. One of the most useful studies of its properties as an explosive was conducted by Rohrlich and Sauermilch [7], They determined that TATP had a TNT equivalency of approximately 88% based on lead block expansion. They prepared a firing train consisting of 0.05 g TATP (pressed at 250 kg/cm2) in contact with pentaerythrital tetranitrate (PETN) to produce reliable blasting caps. Other experiments determined that a 0.16-g portion of the peroxide (density = 1.35 g/cm3) could initiate TNT. [Pg.49]

Detonating fuse is called cordeau detonant in the French language, and cordeau has become the common American designation for it. Cordeau has been made from lead tubes filled with trinitrotoluene, from aluminum or block tin tubes filled with picric acid, and from tubes of woven fabric filled with nitrocellulose or with pentaerythrite tetranitrate (PETN). In this country the Ensign-Bickford Company, at Simsbury, Connecticut, manufac-... [Pg.11]

Of the several explosives which are preparable from formaldehyde, two are the most powerful and brisant of the solid high explosives which are suitable for military use. One of these, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine or cyclonite, is a nitroamine and is discussed in the chapter which is devoted to those substances. The other, pentaerythrite tetranitrate or PETN, is a nitric ester. Both may be prepared from coke and air. [Pg.277]

Pentaerythrite Tetranitrate (PETN, penta, niperyth, penthrit) Four equivalents of formaldehyde in warm aqueous solution in the presence of calcium hydroxide react with one equivalent of acetaldehyde to form pentaerythrite. Three of the four react with the three a-hydrogens of the acetaldehyde, the fourth acts as a reducing agent, converts the —CHO group to —CH2— OH, and is itself oxidized to formic acid. [Pg.278]

Pentaerythrite tetranitrate is the most stable and the least reactive of the explosive nitric esters. It shows no trace of decomposition if stored for a very long time at 100°. While nitrocellulose... [Pg.279]

The influence of different modifiers on extraction efficiency with a concentration of 4 mol% is pointed out in diagram 2. With pure supercritical carbon dioxide,only pentaerythrit-tetranitrate is recovered. Recovery of the other samples is below 1 %, indicating no mutual solubilities with supercritical carbon dioxide. Using modifiers, recoveries of nitro-triazole and cyclo-trimethylene-trinitramine can be greatly enhanced. [Pg.348]

Results indicate the good potential for pentaerythrit-tetranitrate in establishing the RESS process for the production of fine particles. The GAS process could be more suited for particle formation of nitroguanidine, cyclo-trimethylene-trinitramine and nitro-triazole. If additional small amounts of modifiers are acceptable, then the flexible handling of both RESS - and GAS-process can be proposed for cyclo-trimethylene-trinitramine and nitro-triazole. [Pg.349]

PETN (pentaerythrite tetranitrate), the high explosive used in detonating cord, is one of the most powerful of military explosives, almost equal in force to nitroglycerin and RDX. When used in detonating cord, it has a detonation velocity of 21,000 feet per second and is relatively insensitive to friction and shock from handling and transportation. [Pg.266]
