High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RDX, also known less commonly as cyclonite, hexogen (particularly in German and German-influenced languages), and T4, and chemically as Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, is an explosive nitroamine widely used in military and industrial applications. Nomenclature variants include cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine and cyclotrimethylene trinitramine. In its pure, synthesized state RDX is a white, crystalline solid. As an explosive, it is usually used in mixtures with other explosives and plasticizers, phlegmatizers or desensitizers. It is stable in storage and is considered one of the most powerful and brisant of the military high explosives.
