NHN is a thermally and hydrolytically stable solid, easily prepared from available raw materials. Its preparation liquor can be used repeatedly, which means no waste‐water pollution in industrial manufacture. NHN is not sensitive to impact, friction, or electrostatic charge, but is more sensitive to flame. It is demonstrated that NHN is suitable as a replacement for lead azide as an intermediate charge in commercial detonators.
