Styphnate (also Trinitroresorcinate, Bleitrizinat, trizinate ) is the lead salt of styphnic, an explosive nitroaromatic compounds. It is used as a primary explosive in detonators and primers.

Properties

Styphnate forms orange -yellow to dark brown crystals. The non-hygroscopic, insoluble in diethyl ether, chloroform, benzene and toluene compound dissolves little in acetone and water (400 ppm). The impact sensitivity is 2.5-5.0 Nm, the friction sensitivity of 1.5 N. The deflagration point is 275 ° C. The detonation velocity is 5200 m / s It is very sensitive to static electricity.

Use

Styphnate is a widely used and widely-used primary explosive that is used because of its extreme sensitivity to electrostatic charges only mixed with additives. He is the main component of Sinoxid - firing cap.
