Royal Demolition Explosive

Between World War I and II, TNT replaced picric acid as the explosive of choice in munitions. It was also mixed with other compounds to produce more powerful explosives with unique characteristics. Amatol is a mixture containing between 40% and 80% ammonium nitrate and TNT. Pentolite is a mixture of PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) and TNT. Another common explosive mixture is RDX (cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) and TNT. RDX is an abbreviation for Royal Demolition Explosive. [Pg.282]

Constituents. The military use a range of chemicals such as explosives and propellants that are sometimes termed energetic molecules, Generally speaking, modern explosives are cyclic, often heterocyclic, composed of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, eg 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene RDX (Royal Demolition explosive hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-l, 2,3-triazine) HMX (High... [Pg.209]

RDX stands for Royal Demolition Explosive. It is also known as cyclonite or hexogen. The chemical name for RDX is 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine. It is a white powder and is very explosive. It is used as an explosive and is also used in combination with other ingredients in explosives. Its odor and taste... [Pg.12]

RDX (cyclotiimethylenetrinitramine), royal demolition explosive, hexogen, or cyclonite (also called royal Dutch explosive)... [Pg.42]

As noted, RDX (cyclonite) also called royal Dutch explosive or royal demolition explosive, was developed in 1898 by Henning, a German chemist. His method was to nitrate hexamthylene tetramine using concentrated nitric acid. Hexamthylene tetramine appears on the list of chemicals purchased in bulk by the Chemical Warfare Service. A nitrating shed appears on the 1918 building plat map. This structure is far removed from the AUES campus, probably due to the danger inherent in making explosives. Report Nos. DR 03-065 and DR 03-046 indicate the AUES experiments with RDX precursors. [Pg.217]
