CYCLONITE History

The discovery of cyclonite dates from 1898 when Georg Friedrich Henning obtained a German patent (patent No. 104280) for its manufacture, by nitrating hexamethylenetetramine. In this patent, its properties as an explosive were at length described, as well as its possible use as a medical compound mentioned. Research and development were not published further until G. C. V. Herz obtained a British patent in 1921 and a U.S. patent in 1922, for its manufacture by nitrating hexamethylenetetramine. Later in the 1920s cyclonite was produced by the direct nitration of hexamine.

CYCLONITE Uses

Cyclonite is an explosive nitroamine widely used in military and industrial applications.
As an explosive, cyclonite is usually used in mixtures with other explosives and plasticizers, phlegmatizers or desensitizers.
Cyclonite is also used as a major component of many plastic bonded explosives used in nuclear weapons.
