Energetic Materials Center Report--Small-Scale Safety and Thermal Testing Evaluation of Butyl Nitrate
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States). Energetic Materials Center
Butyl Nitrate (BN) was examined by Small-Scale Safety and Thermal (SSST) Testing techniques to determine its sensitivity to impact, friction, spark and thermal exposure simulating handling and storage conditions. Under the conditions tested, the BN exhibits thermal sensitivity above 150 °C, and does not exhibit sensitive to impact, friction or spark.
