It is a colourless solid, of density 1.82 g/cm3. It is obtained by reacting concentrated [[nitric acid]] on [[hexamine]]. It is a heterocycle and has the shape of a ring. It starts to decompose at about 170°C and melts at 204°C. Its structural formula is: hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine or (CH<sub>2</sub>-N-NO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>
 
 At room temperatures, it is a very stable product. It burns rather than explodes, and only detonates with a [[detonator]], being unaffected even by small arms fire. It is less sensitive than [[pentaerythritol tetranitrate]] (PETN). However, it is very sensitive when crystalized, below -4°C.
