1. Lead Azide can be decomposed and should be protected from exposure to ultraviolet and blue components of available lighting.

2. Lead Azide should not be exposed to copper, zinc or alloys containing such metals because of possible formation of other azides which are more sensitive than the lead.

3. HMXIRD-1333 Lead Azide mixtures or interfaces of these two materials become supersensiltive when heated to 204°C (400°F) for 'is hour. A similar supersensitivity condition also results when heated HMX is mixed with unheated RD-1333. This conclusion was based on the results of an experimental program conducted by E.!. DuPont de Nemours & Co (Inc), Wilmington, DE. Other primary explosives (dextrinated lead azide, lead styphnate and tetracene) were not sensitized by the heatedHMX.

4. CAUTION: Explosives must be tested for compatibility with any material not specified in the production-procurement package with which they may come in contact. Materials include other explosives, solvents, adhesives, metals, plastics, paints, cleaning compounds, floor and table coverings, packing materials and other similar materials, situations and equipment, explosives include propellants and pyrotechnics.
