Nitroglycerin is the explosive component of dynamite but it is not in its pure form in dynamite: it is stabilized in a clay-like substance.

Pure nitroglycerin is to unstable to be stored or transported for everyday used. It is very easy to set off accidentally, hence the need to be stabilized.

How has dynamite changed over time?

Dynamite once consisted only of nitroglycerine and an absorbent material. It now rarely contains nitroglycerin, but uses a combination of other explosive materials, powdered metals, etc. The result is a safer product, a wider range of energy and characteristics, and fewer health problems for the people using it (nitroglycerin headaches are VERY bad)
