Aluminium

Aluminium (Aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13.

See PLX and Aluminium

Amine

In chemistry, amines are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.

See PLX and Amine

Brisance

Brisance is the shattering capability of a high explosive, determined mainly by its detonation pressure.

See PLX and Brisance

C-4 (explosive)

C-4 or Composition C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive family known as Composition C, which uses RDX as its explosive agent.

See PLX and C-4 (explosive)

Detonation velocity

Explosive velocity, also known as detonation velocity or velocity of detonation (VoD), is the velocity at which the shock wave front travels through a detonated explosive.

See PLX and Detonation velocity

Detonator

A detonator, sometimes called a blasting cap in the US, is a small sensitive device used to provoke a larger, more powerful but relatively insensitive secondary explosive of an explosive device used in commercial mining, excavation, demolition, etc.

See PLX and Detonator

Die Hard with a Vengeance

Die Hard with a Vengeance is a 1995 American action thriller film directed by John McTiernan and written by Jonathan Hensleigh, which is based on the screenplay Simon Says by Hensleigh and the characters created by Roderick Thorp for his 1979 novel Nothing Lasts Forever.

Diethylenetriamine

Diethylenetriamine (abbreviated Dien or DETA) and also known as 2,2’-Iminodi(ethylamine)) is an organic compound with the formula HN(CH2CH2NH2)2. This colourless hygroscopic liquid is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, but not simple hydrocarbons. Diethylenetriamine is structural analogue of diethylene glycol.

Erythritol tetranitrate

Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) is an explosive compound chemically similar to PETN, though it is thought to be slightly more sensitive to friction and impact.

See PLX and Erythritol tetranitrate

Ethanolamine

Ethanolamine (2-aminoethanol, monoethanolamine, ETA, or MEA) is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with the formula or.

See PLX and Ethanolamine

Ethylenediamine

Ethylenediamine (abbreviated as en when a ligand) is the organic compound with the formula C2H4(NH2)2.

See PLX and Ethylenediamine

Explosive

An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

See PLX and Explosive

Fuel

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work.

See PLX and Fuel

Gel

A gel is a semi-solid that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough.

See PLX and Gel

Korean Air Flight 858

Korean Air Flight 858 was a scheduled international passenger flight between Baghdad, Iraq, and Seoul, South Korea.

See PLX and Korean Air Flight 858

Land mine

A land mine, or landmine, is an explosive weapon concealed under or camouflaged on the ground, and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets, ranging from combatants to vehicles and tanks, as they pass over or near it.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a chemical element; it has symbol Mg and atomic number 12.

See PLX and Magnesium

Nitrate

Nitrate is a polyatomic ion with the chemical formula.

See PLX and Nitrate

Nitrocellulose

Nitrocellulose (also known as cellulose nitrate, flash paper, flash cotton, guncotton, pyroxylin and flash string, depending on form) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid.

See PLX and Nitrocellulose

Nitromethane

Nitromethane, sometimes shortened to simply "nitro", is an organic compound with the chemical formula. PLX and Nitromethane are liquid explosives.

Thermobaric weapon

A thermobaric weapon, also called an aerosol bomb, or a vacuum bomb, is a type of explosive munition that works by dispersing an aerosol cloud of gas, liquid or powdered explosive.

See PLX and Thermobaric weapon

Thickening agent

A thickening agent or thickener is a substance which can increase the viscosity of a liquid without substantially changing its other properties.

See PLX and Thickening agent

TNT

Trinitrotoluene, more commonly known as TNT (and more specifically 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene), and by its preferred IUPAC name 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3.
