It has been proposed as an addition to smokeless powders to raise their flammability – and ease of combustion, and as a filler for blasting caps in place of or in mixture with tetranitromethyl aniline (tetryl) or trinitrotoluene where on account of its energy content which is higher than that of the aromatic nitro compounds it would exert a greater initiating effect.
