Chemical database G-H
As you can see, this is by no means a complete list. The list contains chemicals which are useful in the manufacture of propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. It also contains the explosives themselves and the raw materials. The information is gathered from several reliable sources but I can not promise you that it is without flaw. Typing errors may also be present, so use the information with care. Some chemicals are listed only by their name or with only some of their properties, the list will be updated as soon as I can find the time. Chemical formulas are written in so many different ways, the formulas listed here are written the way they were in the original source.
Please contact me if you have any further information on these chemicals, just remember to mention source.
