dinitroethylene diamine
Sign in to saveAlso known as N,N'-Dinitroethylenediamine
Ethylenedinitramine (EDNA, also Haleite or Explosive H) is an explosive chemical compound of the nitroamine class, a derivative of the ethylenediamine. EDNA is a powerful explosive, with a detonation velocity of 7,570 m/s, slightly higher than that of other common explosive materials, such as TNT (6,900 m/s) or picric acid (7,350 m/s), but lower than RDX (8,750 m/s) or PETN (8,400 m/s).
