Scientific name 2.4,6-trinitrophenol potassium, abbreviated as KP. Molecular weight 267. The appearance of potassium picrate is yellow rod crystal, which is synthesized into granular crystal by adding crystal shape control agent. It is prepared by reacting picric acid solution with potassium hydroxide solution. If crystal shape control agent is added in the reaction, granular potassium picrate can be generated. Stability: ① Good physical chemistry stability; ② Heating test at OO ° C, with a weight loss of 0.13% in the first 48 hours. Compatibility: compatible with nitrocellulose, 611 medicine, lead styphnate, iron, aluminum, purple copper, nickel copper, nickel steel. potassium picrate can be used as temperature resistant monomer ignition propellant and delay composition. It can also be mixed with PETN, RDX or HMX to form high-precision delay composition and high-energy thermal bridge wire detonator charge.
