Primary explosive compound for detonation systems
Copper fulminate is a brown crystalline solid. It is highly sensitive and unstable.
Limited use in research applications. Not commonly used due to instability.
Specialized storage required. Temperature and humidity control necessary.
Use remote handling techniques. Protective equipment required.
HIGH HAZARD - Unstable and sensitive. Handle with extreme caution.
UN 0135 classification. Restricted use.
