Triethylene glycol dinitrate
Triethylene glycol dinitrate is an, ether, nitrated alcohol ester of triethylene glycol. It is used as an energetic plasticizer in explosives and propellants. It is a pale yellow oily liquid. It is somewhat similar to nitroglycerin.
TEGDN is often used together with trimethylolethane trinitrate.
Triethylene glycol dinitrate, diethylene [glycol dinitrate], and trimethylolethane trinitrate are being considered as replacements for nitroglycerin in propellants.
