TATB has a crystal density of 1.93 grams/cm, though most forms currently in use have no higher density than 1.80 grams/cm. TATB melts at 350 °C. The chemical formula for TATB is C

Still another process has been found for the production of TATB from materials that are surplus to military use.

However, it is likely that the production of TATB will be switched over to a process involving the nitration and
