    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT

    TNT is valued partly because of its insensitivity to shock and friction, with reduced risk of accidental detonation compared to more sensitive explosives such as nitroglycerin. TNT melts at 80 °C (176 °F), far below the temperature at which it will spontaneously detonate, allowing it to be poured or safely combined with other explosives.

  9. Explosive booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_booster

By itself, the initiating detonator would not deliver sufficient energy to set off the low-sensitivity charge.
