The system is based on LD50 determination in rats, thus an oral solid agent with an LD50 at 5 mg or less/kg bodyweight is Class Ia, at 5–50 mg/kg is Class Ib, LD50 at 50–2000 mg/kg is Class II, and at LD50 at the concentration more than 2000 mg/kg is classified as Class III. Values may differ for liquid oral agents and dermal agents. [1]
Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O 2 N) 3 C 6 H 2 OH. Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP).The name "picric" comes from Greek: πικρός (pikros), meaning "bitter", due to its bitter taste.
For their production, highly explosive materials like 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine were used; to reduce the plant's workers' chemical exposure to these materials, RDX and TNT residues that collected on the floor were washed away with water routinely. The water flowed outside into unlined ditches contaminated ...
2,4,6-Tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol is an aromatic organic chemical that has tertiary amine and phenolic hydroxyl functionality in the same molecule. [1] The formula is C 15 H 27 N 3 O and the CAS Registry Number is 90-72-2. It is REACH registered and the European Community Number is 202-013-9. [2] [3] [4]
2,4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C 7 H 6 N 2 O 4. This pale yellow crystalline solid is well known as a precursor to trinitrotoluene (TNT) but is mainly produced as a precursor to toluene diisocyanate .
VAMTOX units have a system of valves and dampers that direct the air flow across one or more ceramic filled bed(s). On start-up, the system preheats by raising the temperature of the heat exchanging ceramic material in the bed(s) at or above the auto-oxidation temperature of methane 1,000 °C (1,830 °F), at which time the preheating system is ...

To enable efficient transportation and storage, and , to allow the transportation of some explosives together, a further classification system is used called compatibility groups (CGs). Compatibility groups helps to group explosives of a similar type together, or allow the transportation of combinations that have been deemed safe.
