Surf these sites: Composition A -- Composition A is a wax-coated, granular explosive consisting of TDX and plasticizing wax. Five varieties of composition A have been developed and designated as composition A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5. Composition B -- Composition B consists of castable mixtures of RDX and TNT; in some instances, desensitizing agents are added to the mixture. Composition C -- Composition C is a plastic demolition explosive consisting of RDX, other explosives, and plasticizers. It can be molded by hand for use in demolition work and packed by hand into shaped charge devices Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) -- Also referred to as cyclonite, or hexogen, RDX is a white crystalline solid usually used in mixtures with other explosives, oils, or waxes; it is rarely used alone Explosive Materials -- Potentially Unstable, Peroxidized or Shock Sensitive Chemicals Explosives - Encarta Online Concise -- Description of explosives and components.
