What to do with a bulk of Hexamine Dinitrate? It's already dry white crystal and kinda fume smelling. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> :confused:

Gee, make RDX, make blasting caps, detonate it, snort it, eat it, pound on with a hammer, the possibilities are endless :rolleyes:

How much is is it, and what method did you use?

umm... well you could detonate it. :rolleyes:
If you did a search you would find alot of information it.

You can mix it with AN, but certainly wash with absolute alcohol or acetone at first.

Funny Cyclonite!
DBSP... it was made by C6H12N4 + NH4NO2 + HNO3. It will give you the best yield! Hummm, Great Ideas, Will convert into RDX with some HMX. Gotten find the best RDX Synthesis first. BTW, it already have wash with pure C3H6O and it ready to go the next step.....(Any best RDX Synthensis?)

I'm not quite shure if you made a typo or something.
hexamine+NH4NO3(I assume you didn't mean ammoniumnitrite)+HNO3, why both NH4NO3 and HNO3? You carried the reaction out in a solution right.

Yes, I did mess up my typo were going too fast. Must have too much Nirates(damge mask)! It was NH4NO3. The purpose of it will increase yield and keep from reaction too quicken.

Indeed there is a method of making HDN using both Ammonium Nitrate and Nitric Acid.I think the yiled was high also .In fact this method was also developed by Werner Bachmann in the 1940's in his research how to improve the yields of nitramine explosive ,RDX..

Sorry about that the clock was 03:30 in the morning when I typed that. Anyway I didn't know there was a method that combined the two of them. Spound interesting. I'll be getting som 68% nitric within two weeks now so I might try something.

Since the HDN is hygroscopic as AN, can it be mix with fuel oil to
form HDN/FO?
Will it change the sensitivity or caused any unstable composition?
Any idea is it possible to set off by det cap?

Hexamine dinitrate has a very negative oxygen balance. Why would you add a fuel?
