Used primarily as a high-performance energetic material in advanced explosive formulations due to its high density and thermal stability. Its high nitrogen content and favorable oxygen balance contribute to strong detonation properties, making it suitable for use in detonators, boosters, and other initiating systems. Also investigated as a potential ingredient in insensitive munitions (IM) formulations, where safety under impact, friction, and heat is critical. Shows promise in propellant compositions to enhance energy output without compromising stability. Research explores its use in melt-castable explosives as a less sensitive alternative to traditional nitroaromatics.
