Nitroguanidine
Nitroguanidine is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitro compounds. It is characterized by high thermal stability and energetic properties.
Both the direct raw material guanidine nitrate and all other precursors are produced at the German Alzchem sites.

Nitroguanidine has several applications
- Plant protection: It is used as a building block in the production of modern plant protection products.
- Automotive industry: Guanidine nitrate and nitroguanidine are used in the automotive sector, for example, as propellants for gas generators to trigger airbags.
