2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN)
- Chemical formula: C7H6N2O5
- CAS no: 119-27-7
2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) is a versatile organic compound known for its low sensitivity and unique chemical structure.
When combined with specific explosive chemicals, it can unleash its potential power, offering 90% of the explosive strength of TNT but with a higher melting point and lower density.
Used as a replacement for TNT, DNAN is a key ingredient in explosive mixtures like IMX-101, IMX-104, PAX-48, PAX-21, and PAX-41, enhancing safety in applications like the spider grenade.
Beyond its explosive uses, DNAN has found its way into industries as diverse as dye production and insecticide formulation.
