Contact SupplierPetn Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate that we are offering is a white colored crystallite material, which is independently used as a high explosive, as the explosive core for detonating fuse (or) as an ingredient of composite explosives. Our Pentacrythritol Tetranitrate (Petn) crystals are short and hexagonal in appearance with minimum elongates and are free from needle shaped crystals, dust and visible impurities. We are a prominent Petn Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate Manufacturer, Exporter and Supplier from Telangana, India. We provide them in different packaging options to cater various industrial requirements.
Details :
Common use of PETN is as an explosive with high brisance.
It is more difficult to detonate than primary explosives, so dropping or igniting it will typically not cause an explosion (at atmospheric pressure it is difficult to ignite and burns relatively slowly), but is more sensitive to shock and friction than other secondary explosives such as TNT or TETRYL.
Under certain conditions a deflagration no detonation transition can occur.
It is rarely used alone, but primarily used in booster and bursting charges of small caliber ammunition, in upper charges of detonators in some land mines and shells, and as the explosive core of detonation cord.
PETN is the least stable of the common military explosives, but can be stored without significant deterioration for longer than nitroglycerin or nitro-cellulose.
