Sensitivity

i ran arcoss a synthesis today on erythritol tetranitrate and apparently this stuff is sensitive to shock, however my source for this isn't very reliable. i found more accurate information on this site than a lot of places, anyways i was just wondering how friction sensitive this compound is, because friction sensitivity scares me more than anything else

This is where I learned first leaned of this explosive and to me it seems relativley safe. I am very sure that this is much less friction sensitive than AP- but than again most secondaries are not that friction sensitive
