Diethylene glycol dinitrate

Diethylene glycol dinitrate (DEGDN) is an explosive nitrated alcohol ester with the formula C4H8N2O7. Trimethylolethane trinitrate and Diethylene glycol dinitrate are explosive chemicals, liquid explosives, Monopropellants, nitrate esters and plasticizers.

Explosive

An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

Monopropellant

Monopropellants are propellants consisting of chemicals that release energy through exothermic chemical decomposition. Trimethylolethane trinitrate and Monopropellant are Monopropellants.

Nitrate ester

In organic chemistry, a nitrate ester is an organic functional group with the formula, where R stands for any organyl group. Trimethylolethane trinitrate and nitrate ester are nitrate esters.

Nitration

In organic chemistry, nitration is a general class of chemical processes for the introduction of a nitro group into an organic compound.

Nitrocellulose

Nitrocellulose (also known as cellulose nitrate, flash paper, flash cotton, guncotton, pyroxylin and flash string, depending on form) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Trimethylolethane trinitrate and Nitrocellulose are explosive chemicals and nitrate esters.

Nitroglycerin

Nitroglycerin (NG) (alternative spelling of nitroglycerine), also known as trinitroglycerol (TNG), nitro, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), or 1,2,3-trinitroxypropane, is a dense, colorless or pale yellow, oily, explosive liquid most commonly produced by nitrating glycerol with white fuming nitric acid under conditions appropriate to the formation of the nitric acid ester. Trimethylolethane trinitrate and nitroglycerin are explosive chemicals, liquid explosives and nitrate esters.

Plasticizer

A plasticizer (UK: plasticiser) is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture. Trimethylolethane trinitrate and plasticizer are plasticizers.

Propellant

A propellant (or propellent) is a mass that is expelled or expanded in such a way as to create a thrust or another motive force in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, and "propel" a vehicle, projectile, or fluid payload.

Smokeless powder

Finnish smokeless powder Smokeless powder is a type of propellant used in firearms and artillery that produces less smoke and less fouling when fired compared to black powder.
