OBS

While RDX, HMX, and PETN are among the most powerful chemical explosive compounds known, they are never used in the pure state owing to their excessively high sensitivity, but instead are used in conjunction with other less sensitive explosives or nonexplosive ingredients in desensitized or phlegmatized condition.
