Uh huh okay, lets see...
TNM forms extremely powerful explosive mixtures when fuels are added in stoichiometric proportions. Many of these mixtures show sensitivity to
impact even higher than that of nitroglycerine.[13]
TNM reacts with moisture at elevated pH to produce trinitromethane (nitroform) which reacts easily with metals to form highly unstable and explosive
salts.
Ahh I'm noping out of that lol. Most would call me reckless to the point of being an idiot, except I actually do have certain boundaries that I do not
cross. I can deal with flames, molten metals going everywhere, toxic things... But things that go unpredictable and risk getting violently
surprise-explosive when not carefully watched and treated absolutely properly isn't for me. It did lead me to some interesting reading though, so
thank you for that. |
