Tetrytol

Tetrytol is a high explosive, comprising a mixture of Tetryl and TNT-Tetryleutectic. Typically, the proportion of ingredients (by weight) is 65%, 70%, 75% or 80% tetryl to 35%, 30%, 25% or 20% TNT-Tetryleutectic. Tetrytol is more sensitive than tetryl and less sensitive than TNT. The detonation velocity of tetrytol is between 7310 and 7370 m/s with an average of 7340 m/s as opposed to TNT's detonation velocity of only 6900 m/s.
