- Because of its high volatility, pure RDX is used for detonators, boosters, and carriers, and as a composite with TNT and wax for casting and pressing warheads, artillery munitions, and missile assets. RDX is phelgmatized by various types of phelgmatizers to increase resistance to impact and friction.
- As a military explosive, RDX can be used alone as the base explosive for detonators or mixed with another explosive such as TNT to form cyclotols and used as the detonating explosive for aerial bombs, mines, and torpedoes. Common military use of RDX has been as a component of plastic-bonded explosives. Civilian application of RDX includes use in pyrotechnics (cap relay, cord cutting, detonators)
- In the field of defensive high explosives, technology transfer for mass production of RD X based on a turnkey system can be offered.
