ماده منفجره TKX-50

Increasing the explosion power simultaneously reduction of explosive sensitivity caused to preparing new species of explosives. One of the considerable compounds in this field is dihydroxyl ammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50). Evaluation of explosion properties of this material shows that its explosion efficiency is equal with CL-20. TKX-50 is compatible with most of the materials which used in explosive’s formulations, as in few papers, even introduced as some nitramines alternative. Evaluation of sensitivity to unwanted stimuli shows that despite this compound has high energy content and density; it has low sensitivity to impact and friction. Moreover, its toxicity is lower than most of the common explosives. These properties could be a promise to production of more effective meantime safe explosive at soon.
