Ammonium picrate is the ammonium salt of picric acid . Among other things, it was used as a military explosive for explosive charges during World War II . A common name is "Explosive-D".

Manufacturing

Ammonium picrate is obtained by saturating an aqueous solution of picric acid with ammonia . The product is red; when stored in the presence of water vapor , ammonium picrate changes into the more stable yellow form.
