Energetics Powder explosives Controlled supply
Castable TNT for
qualified programmes

TNT is a well-established castable high explosive supplied in pressed-flake or molten-castable form for authorised military, demolition and munition-filling programmes. Its thermal stability, relatively low sensitivity and consistent performance support controlled melt-cast and composite formulations aligned with MIL-DTL-248D and applicable STANAG requirements:
available exclusively through controlled, licensed supply channels.

Controlled material profile

The reference supplier presents TNT as a thermally stable, relatively insensitive and cost-effective castable energetic material. Final characteristics remain specific to the approved grade, lot, packaging and contracted technical documentation.

01

Melt-cast capability

A published melting point of 80.8 °C supports controlled melt-cast processing within qualified production systems.

02

Stable material profile

TNT combines useful thermal stability with relatively low sensitivity for controlled handling in authorised facilities.

03

Blend compatibility

The material is used as a foundational component in approved composite formulations such as Amatol and Composition B.

04

Controlled supply

Every enquiry is subject to end-user review, licensing, transport, storage and programme-specific acceptance.

Programme-specific supply

Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV can support authorised customers with programme-specific sourcing, supplier coordination, conformity documentation, approved dangerous-goods packaging and specialised logistics.

The final grade, flake or cast-block configuration, quantity, packaging, shelf-life basis and delivery conditions are established through the contracted technical and regulatory framework.
