- Octogen (HMX), Cyclotetramethylenetetranitroamine, C4HsNsOs. Appearance and Color: Crystalline white powder free of mechanical impurities.
- HMX comes in four modifications; of these, only the 11-modification exhibits a particularly high density and therefore a particularly fast burst rate. The main application of pure HMX is in the production of detonating cords and shock tubes that are thermally stable at temperatures up to 300° C.
- Phelgmatized HMX is used in the production of explosive charges for anti-aircraft missile shells, anti-tank rockets and artillery shells with explosive and cumulative effect, as well as in oil well-piercing explosives. A mixture of polymer adhesives known as HMX and PBX is used in the production of a new generation of cumulative rocket projectiles, called insensitive munitions.
- In the field of defensive high explosives, technology transfer for mass production of HMX / RD X based on a turnkey system can be offered.
