Information profile @ a Glance
  • Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN) is a compound commonly used industrially in the manufacture of detonating fuse and therapeutically as a vasodilator
  • PETN – C5H8O12N4 – is a white crystalline substance that feels powdery to the touch. In its pure form, PETN melts at 141.3 degrees centigrade
  • PETN remains one of the most powerful conventional explosives ever developed, rivaled only by HMX and RDX .The military, as might be expected, is the largest user of PETN, with annual purchasing well over 2,000 tons. Nonmilitary use is primarily limited to demolition work and as a booster material for secondary explosives such as ANFO, dynamite ..
  • PETN can be made in a number of different ways, but the overall process is always the same.
  • PETN does not occur naturally, so the production and use of this kind of compound can lead to contamination of the environment.
  • PETN's preparation involves the nitration of pentaerythritol with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acid. The preferred method of nitration is the ICI method, which utilizes concentrated nitric acid (98%+) alone, as mixed acid can create unstable sulfonated by-products.
  • PETN is subject to biodegradation in untreated or unpreserved urine and feces. There also have been some reports of its degradation by bacteria, whose PETN reductase sequentially denitrates PETN into tri- and dinitrates
