Picric acid (Cat.No:R069657) is a chemical compound known for its explosive properties and use as a yellow dye. When water is added to picric acid, it becomes less sensitive to shock and friction, reducing its explosive potential. It has applications in chemical analysis and as a dye in the textile industry.
