C4 (Composition C4)

C-4, or Composition C-4, is a type of plastic explosive commonly used in demolition and military applications. It is a stable, malleable material made mainly of an explosive compound called RDX, combined with a binder and plasticizers, giving it a dough-like consistency. This allows it to be easily shaped and positioned without detonating prematurely. When triggered by a detonator, C-4 produces a powerful explosion, capable of breaking through tough materials like concrete and metal. Its stability, safety in handling, and effectiveness make it a widely used explosive in controlled demolition and military operations.
