- Sensitivity
- айменш чутливий серед військових вибухових речовин до ударів і тертя. Хоча менш чутливий, ніж тротил, він може вибухнути від сильного удару або тертя. Потребує підсилювача для детонації.

AMMONIUM PICRATE
Melting point
265°C
Solubility
Slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol and cold water; soluble in hot water.
Application
A main charge explosive used in explosive munitions that must withstand high shocks and loads before detonation, such as armor-piercing bombs and shells. Used as the standard main charge for all naval shells over 3 inches in caliber.
Note
Very stable when stored properly. Moderately hygroscopic. Moisture reduces explosive power and sensitivity to detonation. In the presence of moisture, it easily reacts with lead, steel and nickel-plated steel; slightly reacts with copper-plated or galvanized steel and bronze. When wet, it slowly reacts with iron, lead and copper, forming explosive salts. In the dry state, the reaction with metals is insignificant. Inflammable. Burns easily, like tar or pitch. Can detonate when heated to a temperature of 205°C.
