Many very early plastic explosives used nitrocellulose for the plastic, however nitrocellulose is also explosive.
The early U.S. military RDX based plastic explosives (Composition A and Composition B) used wax instead of plastic resin. These were replaced with Composition C developed during World War 2 in conjunction with the British. Composition C was revised to Composition C-2 and finally Composition C-3 by late 1944. The final revision went into production as Composition C-4 in 1956, the users quickly shortened the name to just "C-4".
The ingredients of Composition C-4 are as follows:
- 90.0-91.0% RDX (cyclonite) - explosive
- ~2.1% polyisobutylene - plastic resin
- ~5.3% di-(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate - plasticizer
- ~1.6% motor oil - plasticizer
- less than 0.6% of water

Some do, some don't. It depends on the specific explosive.

plastic
What kind of reactants are used in making plastic explosives?
Things like RDX, TNT, Cyclonite, etc. plus plasticizers. Composition A and Composition B (the predecessors of modern C-4: full name Composition C version 4) used wax instead of plasticizers. I won't give you any details, but it is relatively easy to find the percentages if you look on the net (I know, I found them).
What ingredients are in plastic wrap?
its made with PVC. or LDPE NOT plastic.
Which explosive agent is NOT used to manufacture high-yield explosives?
One explosive agent that is not used in the manufacture of high-yield explosives is baking soda. Ingredients commonly used in high-yield explosives include chemicals like nitroglycerin, ammonium nitrate, and TNT.
In World War 2 were American combat engineers used frequently in assaulting German fortifications under FIRE?
No. It was rare a combat engineer was used to assault a German fortification during crossfire. If anyone was under fire it would have been the men who planted plastic explosives and other types of explosives on bridges and other structures. (yes plastic explosives were around back then but it was different from what we use today)

Plastic, Lead, Sulfuric acid.
What would happen if you ate plastic explosive?
Plastic explosives are made by combining an explosive compound with a plastic binder and plasticizer to make it more stable and thus safer to handle. Nearly all explosives are toxic to some extent because of their reactive nature. For example, RDX, a chemical used in plastic explosives such as C-4, can cause headaches, disorientation, vomiting, violent seizures, kidney damage, and coma when ingested. Eating as little as 1 cubic centimeter (about the size of a sugar cube) of a plastic explosive can cause death.
