| Chemical Properties | Ethylene glycol dinitrate is a colorless to yellow,
oily, odorless liquid. An explosive ingredient (60%80%)
in dynamite along with nitroglycerine (40%20%). It may
be detonated by mechanical shock, heat, or spontaneous
chemical reaction | | Uses | Explosive for mining and fuel industries. Additive to dynamite. Detection of hidden bombs by analysis of ambient air for EGDN. | | Uses | As an explosive usually mixed with
nitroglycerin (NG) in the manufacture of
dynamite | | Definition | A freezing-point depressant for
nitroglycerine. | | General Description | Colorless to yellow, oily odorless liquid with a sweetish taste. Mp: -22°C; bp: explodes at 114°C. Density: 1.49 g cm-3. Soluble in water (23.3 g/L H2O) at 25°C). Very soluble in ethanol and in ether. Used as an explosive ingredient in dynamite along with nitroglycerine. Toxic; can penetrate the skin. | | Reactivity Profile | EGDN is explosive. Acts as a strong oxidizing agent. Heating to 114°C or above may cause a violent combustion or explosion producing toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). May also decompose explosively from shock, friction or from a build-up of electrostatic charge that sparks suddenly to ground. Can begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in an explosion if mixed with reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides, and nitrides and numerous ordinary combustible materials. Reacts violently with Al, BP, cyanides, esters, PN2H, P, NaCN, SnCl2, sodium hypophosphite, and thiocyanates. Reacts with acids and with alkalis, including ammonia and amines. Must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials (Sax and Lewis, 1987 p.664). | | Hazard | Toxic by skin absorption. | | Health Hazard | EGDN causes vasodilation and
cardiac effects. | | Safety Profile | Can cause lowered
blood pressure leading to headache,
dizziness, and weakness. Used as an
explosive. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also
NITRATES. | | Potential Exposure | An explosive ingredient (60%80%)
in dynamite along with nitroglycerine (40%20%).
Although ethylene glycol dinitrate is an explosive in itself,
it is primarily used to lower the freezing/melting point of
nitroglycerin; together these compounds are the major constituents of commercial dynamite, cordite, and blastine gelatin. Occupational exposure generally involves a mixture of the two compounds. Ethylene glycol dinitrate is 160 times
more volatile than nitroglycerin.
