Trinitrotoluene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (783 words) |
 | TNT was first synthesised by Joseph Wilbrand in the year 1863, and the first large-scale production began in Germany in 1891. |
| TNT was first made in 1863 by a German chemist Joseph Wilbrand, but its potential was not seen for several years, mainly because it was so hard to detonate and because it was less powerful than other explosives. |
| Among its advantages, however, is its ability to be safely melted using steam or hot water, and so can be poured molten into shell cases. |
