Usage

Description

Din0l, also known as 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, is a yellow crystalline solid that darkens upon exposure to sunlight. It is highly sensitive to shock, heat, flame, or friction, and may explode if dried out. Due to its instability, it must be shipped wet with at least 40% water or a water and denatured alcohol mixture.

Uses

Used in Military Applications:
Din0l is used as an explosive compound in military applications due to its high sensitivity to shock, heat, flame, or friction. Its instability makes it a powerful explosive when properly handled and stored.
Used in Chemical Research:
Din0l can be used as a research compound in the field of chemistry, particularly in the study of explosives and their properties. Its unique characteristics and reactivity can provide valuable insights into the development of new materials and technologies.
Used in Demolition and Construction:
Din0l can be utilized in controlled demolition and construction projects, where its high explosive power can be harnessed to break down structures or excavate large areas. However, due to its sensitivity, it must be handled with extreme caution and expertise.
Used in Mining Operations:
In the mining industry, Din0l can be employed as a blasting agent to break apart rocks and ores. Its high explosive power allows for efficient extraction of valuable minerals and resources. However, safety measures must be strictly followed to prevent accidents and explosions.

Health Hazard

Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.

Fire Hazard

MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO.

Safety Profile
