Octogen (HMX) is used exclusively for military purposes to implode fissionable material in nuclear devices, as a component of plastic-bonded explosives, as a component of rocket propellant,
and as a high explosive buster charge.

• Octogen (HMX), Cyclotetramethylenetetranitroamine, C4HsNsOs. Appearance and Color: Crystalline white powder, without mechanical impurities.
• HMX appears in four modifications, of which only the 11-modification displays a particulary high density and hence also a particulary fast detonation rate. Basic application of pure HMX is in the production of detonating cords and shock tubes which are thermally stable in temperaturese up to 300° C
• Phelgmatized HMX is used in the production of explosive charges for anti-aircraft missile projectiles, anti-tank rockets and artillery projectiles with explosive and cumulative effect as well as for oil well perforating charges. A mixture of HMX and a polymer adhesive, known as PBX, is used in the production of a new generation of cumulative rocket projectiles, the so-called insensitive munitions.
• In the field of high explosives for defense, the technology transfer for the batch production of HMX / RD X can be offered, based on a turnkey system.
