Usage

General Description

2,2-dinitropropyl acetate, also known as DNPA, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C5H7N3O7. It is a highly explosive and sensitive compound with a strong potential for use in military applications. DNPA is mostly used as a primary explosive in the production of detonating cords and boosters. It is also used in the manufacturing of some types of propellants and in the synthesis of specialty chemicals. However, due to its highly hazardous nature, strict safety measures are required for its handling and storage. Additionally, the production and use of DNPA are tightly regulated to prevent accidents and misuse.
