Hexamine as an experimental rocketry propellant

We currently exploring the possibility of using hexamine as an experimental rocketry propellant. Hexamine is the reactant of the most powerful and brisant explosives RDX, HMX, and HMTD. The video below shows the combustion performance of 0.5g hexamine/KNO3 AgNO3 in Markus' laboratory:

Instead of AgNO3 oxidizers like nitrous oxide (hybrid) could be used.
