Barium nitrate with chemical formula Ba(NO3)2 is a salt composed of barium and the nitrate ion.
Barium nitrate exists as a white solid at room temperature. It is soluble in water, and like other soluble barium compounds, is toxic. It occurs naturally as the very rare mineral nitrobarite. Barium nitrate's properties make it suitable for use in various military applications, including thermite grenades and incendiary ammunition.
Specification
Barium nitrate Ba(NO3)2,% ≥99.5
Residue insoluble in water,% ≤0.05
Chlorides expressed as BaCl2,% ≤0.05
Fe,% ≤0.001
PH 5.0-8.0
Application
Baratol is an explosive composed of barium nitrate, TNT and binder; the high density of barium nitrate results in baratol being quite dense as well. Barium nitrate mixed with aluminium powder, a formula for flash powder, is highly explosive. It is mixed with thermite to form Thermate-TH3, used in military thermite grenades.
