Synthesis of Insensitive High Explosive TEX on Lab Scale

TEX is a recently synthesized explosive that may comply with the very strict property requirements needed for a commercial or military explosive. As an high explosive, TEX is notable for its very high density. It is a very energetic explosive, combining a high velocity of detonation along with low sensitivity to mechanical stimuli and good thermal stability. The insensitive nature of TEX suggests that it may be a suitable high performance alternative for some conventional explosives such as TATB and NTO. In this research, all preparation methods of this material have been simulated on the laboratory scale and a selected method with two synthesis steps, having a yield up to 70% and high purity (97%), has been optimized and offered.
