High quality from Germany. Crystalline solid in water, mainly used to manufacture propellants, notably triple base smokeless propellants. It has also found application in modern smokeless or low smoke pyrotechnic formulations and as an additive to modify burn rates. Nitroguanidine reduces the propellants flame and flash temps without sacrificing chamber pressures. Relatively of low sensitivity, used as an explosive, it is only detonated with a blasting cap and/or booster explosive and has high detonation velocity. It can also be found in insecticides, having a comparable effect to nicotine. Slightly soluble in alcohol. Although shipped as a flammable solid, according to DOT regulations, wet nitroguanidine is considered an explosive and must be stored in an approved explosives magazine. An ATFE is required to purchase nitroguanidine. Hazmat shipping is also required for any quantity. Add this to your inventory of hard to find exotic chemicals!
