Used as a low-explosive (propellant) in gas generators for automotive airbags; as an energetic material in smokeless gunpowder and rocket propellants (low flame temperature reduces gun erosion); as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (e.g., nitrofuran antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin) and agrochemicals; in research on high-energy density materials.
