Abstract

The thermal decomposition behaviors of 4,10-dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10-diazaisowutrzitane (TEX) were studied by using accelerating rate calorimetry to achieve the hazard assessment of TEX explosive, and the kinetic parameters were studied from the measured self-heating rate data by assuming a zero-order reaction. Moreover, the specific heat capacity date of TEX was obtained from differential scanning calorimetry. These results could be contributed to improve the safety in the reaction, transportation, and storage processes of TEX.
