A small detonator filled with a more sensitive explosive usually nitro glycerine.
A gram of C4 explosive produces approximately 6,700 joules of energy when detonated.
RDX, an acronym for Research Department Explosive, is an explosive nitro amine widely used in military and industrial applications. It is also known less commonly as cyclonite, hexogen (particularly in German and German-influenced languages), and T4. Its chemical name is cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine; variants include cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine and cyclotrimethylene trinitramine.
It is a moldable ( maleable ) plastic explosive it is just like c4, and is made of PETN and RDX. there are a few types of semtex- semtex H, Semtex A, and another type of semtex is used fo blasting. it is moldable like c4 is is plastic like c4.
C4 is a plastic explosive commonly found in small, rectangular red bricks. It is odorless and can be molded into various shapes for specific operational needs. C4 is stable and safe to handle, and requires a detonator to explode.
One of the most widely-used and least expensive explosives in the U.S. military's arsenal is triacetone-triperoxide or TATP. It is easy and inexpensive to synthesize and is made with acetone and hydrogen peroxide.

c4
C-4 explosive was developed by the US military in the 1950s. It was created as a replacement for the less stable composition C, with the specific formulation classified as a military secret.
An explosive device that uses a plastic explosive (Composition C-4) as the explosive. This is a powerful explosive, not sensitive to impact, that resembles gray/white modeling clay. It is based on a material known as RDX that was developed by the British military.
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.
it's an explosive
Yes. It is a high explosive.
C4
C4 is an explosive compound known as RDX that is coated with a plastic binder. The plastic basically serves as both an protector for the explosive, and as an malleable feature for it. Since the explosive has a coating of plastic over it, to set off C4, a blasting cap or wire is usually inserted into the explosive, and a jolt of electricity sent through it to set the RDX off.
C4 can refer to a military plastic explosive (mostly RDX aka cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine). It can also be used as the acronym for the group "Choral Composer/Conductor Collective", a concert and vocal ensemble in New York City.
A gram of C4 explosive produces approximately 6,700 joules of energy when detonated.
To get the Net Explosive Weight, (NEW) Quantity x Weight x RE Factor= NEW Im not sure what explosives you are using. but this is the military format for explosives. For example 5 blocks of C4 C4 weighs 1.25 lb's/ block C4's RE factor is 1.34 5 x 1.25 x 1.34 = 8.375 8.375 is the NEW of JUST the C4, in your calculations you will have to include Detonation cord, initiators, etc... Hope this answered your qestion
