| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Definition]
ChEBI: An N-nitro compound that is 1,3,5-triazinane in which all three of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogens have been replaced by nitro groups. It is widely used in both industrial and military explosives. | [General Description]
Cyclotrimethylene trinitramine is an explosive. The explosion can be initiated by a sudden shock, high temperature or a combination of the two. The primary hazard is from blast effect and not from flying projectiles and fragments. Under prolonged exposure to heat or fire they can explode. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
CYCLOTRIMETHYLENE TRINITRAMINE is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, combustible materials and heat. Detonates on contact with mercury fulminate . Danger of explosion when dry. The self heating and explosive decomposition of the explosive and aqueous alkali (calcium hydroxide) has been studied, [Chem Abs., 1988, 109, 112968]. | [Fire Hazard]
MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO. | [Potential Exposure]
A potential danger to those involved
in the manufacture of this material and its handling in
munitions and solid-propellant manufacture. It is also used
as a rat poison; a powerful military explosive; a base
charge for detonators; and in plastic explosives. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, includ-
ing resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a Medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medi-
cal attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit | [Shipping]

Heat, physical damage, shock, and deto-
nators. Detonates on contact with mercury fulminate. Keep
away from other explosives, combustibles, oxidizers (such
as chlorates, nitrates, perchlorates, permanganates, perox-
ides; bromine, chlorine, and fluorine); reducing agents; and
aqueous alkaline solutions. | [Description]
Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine is a whitecrystalline compound; Boiling point=.260℃; Freezing/Melting point=203-204℃; Exothermicdecomposition=100℃; Hazard Identification (based onNFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability(explosive), Reactivity (see incompatibilities). Insoluble inwater | [Chemical Properties]
Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-S-triazine is a
white crystalline compound. | [Waste Disposal]
Pour over soda ash, neutralize
and flush to sewer with water. Also HMX may be recov-
ered from solid propellant waste. | [Uses]
Cyclonite is a high explosive and principal constituent of plastic bombs. It is preparedby treating hexamethylenetetramine with nitric acid,ammoniumnitrate,andaceticanhydride: It is also used as a rat poison. | [Uses]
High explosive; rodenticide.RDX is a convulsant. | [Health Hazard]
Cyclonite is a highly toxic substance. Repeated exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, and convulsions.
LD50 value, oral (rats): 100 mg/kg. | [storage]
Explosive. Color Code—Red Stripe: FlammabilityHazard: Store separately from all other flammable materals. Prior to working with this chemical you should betrained on its proper handling and storage. Detached storagein a secure area is recommended. Store in tightly closedcontainers in a cool well-ventilated area away from otherexplosives, combustibles, or strong oxidizers (such as chlorine, bromine, and fluorine). Also keep cyclonite away fromshock and heat sources. Use only nonsparking tools andequipment, especially when opening and closing containersof this chemical. Sources of ignition, such as smoking andopen flames, are prohibited where this chemical is used,handled, or stored in a manner that could create a potentialfire or explosion hazard. Wherever this chemical is used,handled, manufactured, or stored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment and fittings. | [Purification Methods]
RDX crystallises from acetone. [Bachmann & Sheehan J Am Chem Soc 71 1842 1949, Beilstein 26 II 5, 26 III/IV 22.] EXPLOSIVE. |

Poison by ingestion,
intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. An
experimental teratogen. Other experimental
reproductive effects. A corrosive irritant to
skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Cases of
epileptifonn convulsions have been reported
from exposure. It is one of the most
powerful high explosives in use today. Has
more shattering power than TNT and is
often mixed with TNT as a bursting charge
for aerial bombs, mines, and torpedoes. It is
easily initiated by mercury fulrmnate, which
may be used as a booster. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
