RDX (1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane)RDX is another military explosive which is used extensively as an explosive in many munitions formulations, especially in artillery shells. RDX is relatively insensitive; it has a high chemical stability, although lower than that of TNT. RDX is never handled pure and dry because of the danger of accidental explosion. It is used as a component in explosive mixtures, especially plastic explosives.
