Flammable explosive solid.
Self-reactive. N,N'-DINITROSOPENTAMETHYLENETETRAMINE is a blowing agent with an exothermic decomposition slightly above its melting point of 203°C, Ellern, 161(1968). N,N'-DINITROSOPENTAMETHYLENETETRAMINE is shock sensitive.
Poison by intravenous,
intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes.
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Questionable
carcinogen. Mutation data reported. Can
ignite when handled and burns very rapidly.
Many N-nitroso compounds are
carcinogens. A blowing agent. When heated
to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of
