TNT
Military grade TNT is widely used as bursting charge for high explosive shell, aircraft bombs, grenades, naval mines, torpedoes, etc. It is by far the most important explosive for blasting charges of all weapons. It is either used alone or mixed in given proportions with other explosives such as hexogen (RDX) to form hexotol (composition B), hexogen and aluminium to form hexotonal (torpex), PETN to form pentolite, ammonium nitrate to form amatol, etc. TNT is also used in boosters, detonators, demolition charges, as an ingredient in slurries and for mining industries and other blasting materials.
