RDX/Sylgard extrudable explosive development

Formulation procedures for X-0208, an 80 percent RDX/20 percent Sylgard extrudable, have been developed. The extrudable explosive, made from a mixture of micronized RDX and Class E RDX, will sustain detonation in a 1.65 mm channel and can be mechanically extruded into ribbon-type configurations.
