High Explosives

HMX

HMX is produced to meet customer requirements and military specification standards. Particle size distributions from <10µm to >1,000µm are available. Three different levels of quality are offered.

  • HMX Grade B (RDX-content <2%) is our baseline quality
  • HMX High Purity (RDX-content <0.2%) can be supplied on special request
  • RS-HMX Reduced Sensitivity HMX can be supplied on request for potential use in IM

 

RDX

RDX is produced by the Bachman process and fulfils military specification requirements. Particle size distributions from <10ìm to >1,000ìm are available and three different levels of quality are offered.

  • RDX Type II is our baseline quality
  • RDX Type is achieved by a new recrystallization technique characterized by very good reproducibility and narrow size distributions. This quality is especially suitable for use in cast/cure PBX compositions RS-RDX Reduced Sensitivity RDX can be supplied on request for potential use in IM

Explosive Compositions

High explosive compositions are produced to meet customer specification requirements and military standards. Melt/cast, pressable and plastic compositions as well as premixes (CXM) for PBX cast/cure compositions are available. Altogether more than 50 different compositions are offered from traditional compositions, including Comp B, Comp C-4, Octol, Comp A-3, A-4, A-5, PBXN-9, PBXW-11, PBXW-17, LX-14, PBXN-5, PBXN-3, CXM-7 (PBXN-109), CXM-3 (PBXN-107), HMX/IDP (PBXN-110) etc.
