Factors affecting the intramolecular decomposition of hexamethylene triperoxide diamine and implications for detection

•Direct detection of HMTD vapor is unlikely.•HMTD breaks down into volatile decomposition products under ambient conditions.•HMTD products change with time, storage condition, and material formulation.•Data suggests an intermolecular decomposition process for HMTD. Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine...
