Rubberized explosives are flat sheets of solid but flexible material, a mixture of a powdered explosive (commonly RDX or PETN) and a synthetic or natural rubber compound. Rubberized sheet explosives are commonly used for explosive welding and for various other industrial and military applications. Rubberized explosives can be cut to specific ...
Drilling and blasting currently utilizes many different varieties of explosives with different compositions and performance properties. Higher velocity explosives are used for relatively hard rock in order to shatter and break the rock, while low velocity explosives are used in soft rocks to generate more gas pressure and a greater heaving effect.

An explosive weapon generally uses high explosive to project blast and often fragmentation from a point of detonation. Explosive weapons may be subdivided by their method of manufacture into explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices . When explosive weapons fail to function as designed they are often left as unexploded ordnance.
Detagel, which is very high in strength, is a specific example of a small diameter water gel explosive that is used for mining activities. [citation needed] Water gel explosives are frequently used as cartridge explosives because they are much easier to load into large casings. With water gel explosives, the slurry material can simply be poured ...
A detonator is a device used to make an explosive or explosive device explode. [1] Detonators come in a variety of types, depending on how they are initiated (chemically, mechanically, or electrically) and details of their inner working, which often involve several stages.
A variety of methods for explosive residue analysis may be used to identify C-4. These include optical microscope examination and scanning electron microscopy for unreacted explosive, chemical spot tests, thin-layer chromatography , X-ray crystallography , and infrared spectroscopy for products of the explosive chemical reaction.
