Mannitol hexanitrate is a powerful explosive.

Physically, it is a powdery solid at normal temperature ranges, with density of 1.73 g/cm3.

The chemical name is hexanitromannitol and it is also known as nitromannite, MHN, and nitromannitol, and by the trademarks Nitranitol and Mannitrin.

The product is used in medicine as a vasodilator and as an explosive in blasting caps.

The production of pure MHN is not a trivial task, since most preparations will yield a mixture of MHN and lower esters (pentanitrate and lower).
