Guanidine Nitrate is a high energy fuel used in some gas generator and solid rocket propellant applications. It has chemical formula C(NH2)3NO3. It has been used as a monopropellant in the Jetex engine for model airplanes. It is attractive because it has a high gas output, low flame temperature, and non-toxic combustion products. It has a relatively high monopropellant specific impulse of 177 seconds (1.7 kN·s/kg)1.
