TETRYL

Yellow crystals. Insoluble inwater; soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, glacial acetic acid. Tetryl is a colorless to yellow, odorless crystalline solid. High explosive material.
Tetryl appears as a yellow crystalline solid high explosive. Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption. A skin irritant. Will explode if heated above 370°F. Used as a detonating explosive. The primary hazard is the blast of an instantaneous explosion and not flying projectiles and fragments.|ODOURLESS COLOURLESS-TO-YELLOW CRYSTALS.|Colorless to yellow, odorless, crystalline solid.

Some commonly used names are nitramine, tetralite, and tetril. Tetryl is an odorless, synthetic, yellow crystal-like solid that is not found naturally in the environment. Under certain conditions, tetryl can exist as dust in air. It dissolves slightly in water and in other liquids. Tetryl was used to make explosives, mostly during World Wars I and II. It is no longer manufactured or used in the United States. Stocks of tetryl are found in storage at military installations and are being destroyed by the Department of Defense (DOD).|N-methyl-N-picrylnitramine is a nitramine that is methylamine in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a nitro group while the other is substituted by a 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl group. A yellow crystalline powder, it is a high explosive, capable of being detonated by friction, shock, or a spark. It has a role as an explosive.
