Several of the plastic explosives based on RDX, such as Composition C4 are relatively insensitive. And there are specialized explosives developed for use in deep oil well bores that stand up well to very high temperatures and pressures. However, at normal temperatures and pressures, the LEAST sensitive group of products are probably blasting agents, such as a mix of ammonium nitrate and #2 diesel fuel. Unless compacted, these will not reliably detonate from a blasting cap, and require a high explosive "booster" to donate enough energy to cause detonation.

What type of explosive agent is the most important raw material in the manufacturing of industrial explosives?
At one time it was nitroglycerin- now it is probably ammonium nitrate, but RDX, HMX and TNT are also widely used.
What is the least sensitive balance in laboratory?
Triple-Beam Balance This type of laboratory balance is less sensitive than a top-loading balance. They are often used in a classroom situation because of ease of use, durability, and cost. They are called triple-beam balances because they have three decades of weights that slide along individually calibrated scales.
Which type of formula is the least informative?
a structural formula
How do you spell the bomb that didn't cause fire?
The types of aerial bombs that create blast are "high explosive" (HE). The type of bomb designed to cause fires is an "incendiary" bomb.
Is francium the most explosive element in the periodic table?
Yes, but it is closely followed by Caesium and Rubidium. Type Caesium and water into youtube. It is COOL!..........................plus there is no j on the periodic table
What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives?
c4

c4
What type of explosive is widely by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosive.?
TNT
What type of explosive is widely used by military and is one of the least sensitive explosive?
TNT
What type of explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives.?
While we use several, you are probably thinking of Composition C4. It is composed of RDX explosive in a mix of a plastic binder. In Great Britain it is called PE-4. It is a low sensitivity explosive with high energy.

What type of clothing should you wear when working with explosives?
Explosive proof clothing
What is the symbol for explosive?
There are a number of them depending on what type of explosives you are dealing with. To determine which symbol is appropriate, see the DOT Hazardous Markings, Labeling and Placarding guide.
What does a low-order explosive material resemble when exposed to air and sunlight?
These types of explosives resemble dark brown rocks after exposure to the elements, and they often begin to decompose after such exposure as well.
What type of explosive agent is the most important raw material in the manufacturing of industrial explosives?
At one time it was nitroglycerin- now it is probably ammonium nitrate, but RDX, HMX and TNT are also widely used.
What are the different type of eruptions?
Non-explosive and Explosive
What type of explosives were used to demolish The World Trade Center Buildings?
It wasnt an explosive it was just a plane that when it hit the world trade center it caught on fire and the fire toched the plane's fuel line made explode
