Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) is an explosive compound chemically similar to PETN. It is however thought to be 1/3 more sensitive to friction and impact. ETN is not well known but in recent years has been used by amateur experimenters to replace PETN in improvised detonation cord or in boosters to initiate larger less sensitive explosive charges.
