Hexogen RDX
Hexogen is a high explosive (brisant), which means that it generates a very high explosive wave velocity and high temperature during detonation. Hexogen is a component of many modern explosives such as C-4, Semtex and warhead linings. It is used in mines, artillery shells, rockets and torpedo warheads.
