	HMX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMX, also called octogen or cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine, is a powerful, and relatively insensitive, nitroamine high explosive, chemically related to RDX.
		The velocity of detonation of HMX at a density of 1.90 g/cm
		HMX is used in melt-castable explosives when mixed with TNT, which as a class are referred to as "octols." Octol itself is 75% HMX, 25% TNT.

	Nitramine Explosives
		Because of this property, HMX is used exclusively for military purposes to implode fissionable material in nuclear devices, as a component of plastic-bonded explosives, as a component of rocket propellant, and as a high explosive burster charge.
		The use of HMX as a propellant and in maximum-performance explosives is increasing.
		HMX is produced by the nitration of hexamine with ammonium nitrate and nitric acid in an acetic acid/acetic anhydride solvent at 44°C. The raw materials are mixed in a two-step process and the product is purified by recrystallization.

	A review of HMX synthesis. - The Explosives and Weapons Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Granulation of a-HMX particles with a certain particle size distribution is carried out by fluidizing and accelerating the particles to impact against a curved surface using a rotating impeller or a circulating gas stream, optionally in the presence of a small amt.
		The 14C-uniformly labeled (UL) explosive, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) was synthesized in 40% yield by nitrolysis of 14C-labeled hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) in the presence of boron trifluoride di-Et etherate as catalyst.
		HMX is a suitable explosive for military purposes and deep drilling of petroleum and natural gas.

	HMX - Partially Validated Method #2032
		The oral LD of HMX is 1500 mg/kg in mice and 300 mg/kg in guinea pigs.
		The average recovery of the HMX was 102.7%.
		Any compound that has the same retention time as the HMX and absorbs at 235 nm and 225 nm is an interference.

	Properties of HMX
		HMX is not known to react violently with any other chemicals and usually won't even react at all.
		Although HMX is stable when mixed with other chemicals and when heated, it will still explode under heavy shock or friction and must be desensitized in one way or another during transport.
		HMX will not dissolve in water, but will dissolve in several other chemicals, such as acetone.

		Because of this property, HMX is used in various kinds of explosives, rocket fuels, and burster chargers.
		Some HMX may be released to soil as a result of accidental spills, the settling of HMX-containing dust particles from the air, or the disposal of waste that contains HMX in landfills.
		Since HMX is poorly absorbed after it is swallowed, the levels of HMX in your blood and urine are likely to be lower than those in your feces.

		HMX is recognized as one of the most powerful nitramine explosives, and is used as the benchmark for all other explosives.
		HMX is known to exist in four different crystal structures or polymorphic forms-alpha, beta, gamma and delta.
		By coating a HMX particle with such monomers, forming a plurality of such articles into a granule or article, and then polymerizing the monomers in situ, an HMX-containing granule or article can be formed that also comprises a polymeric"cage"or framework.

	Octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetr... (HMX) (CASRN 2691-41-0), IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
		HMX was incorporated into the daily diet of 20 rats/sex/dose for 13 weeks at the following levels: 0, 50, 150, 450, 1350, and 4000 mg/kg/day for males and 0, 50, 115, 270, 620, and 1500 mg/kg/day for females.
		However, the concentrations assayed were low due to limited solubility of HMX in water, and the authors conceded that the findings may represent false negatives.
		The Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitotic gene conversion assay with untreated and with postchlorinated or ozonated samples of saturated HMX was also negative, but the limited solubility of HMX lowers confidence in the studies.

		The removal of Agency seals on the HMX and the declared relocation and consumption of some of the HMX must be explained and documented by Iraq before the Agency can reach a conclusion with regard to the use of such material.
		The Iraqi declarations indicate that out, of the 228 tonnes of HMX available in Iraq at the end of 1998, 196 remained at the facility where the HMX was previously under IAEA seal.
		The inability of Saddam to declare what Iraq had done with their stockpiles of HMX was one of the reasons Saddam was declared in breach of UN Resolutions including 1441 leading to US decision to disarm him.

		A good example is the Iraqi declaration concerning the high explosive "HMX" - which states that, out of the HMX under IAEA seals in Iraq at the end of 1998, some had been supplied to cement plants as an industrial explosive for mining.
		The relocation and consumption of HMX (a high explosive of potential use in nuclear weapons), as described in Iraq's backlog of semi-annual declarations, has been investigated by the IAEA.
		However, it has not been possible to verify the use of those materials, as all of it is said to have been consumed through explosions and there are no immediately available technical means for verifying such uses.
