Properties
editCadmium azide is colorless and crystalline powder. It is highly sensitive to pressure, and is explosive akin to most other azides.[1] It has a high temperature resistance, and also possesses good detonation ability. Because of this, cadmium azide is expected to be applicable within microinitiating systems.[2]
