Primasheet

Primasheet is a rubberized sheet explosive material similar to Detasheet. Manufactured by Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company Primasheet comes in two varieties: Primasheet 1000 is PETN based and Primasheet 2000 is RDX based. Both are waterproof and are supplied in continuous rolls.[1]

Primasheet 1000

Primasheet 1000 is PETN based, and contains 65% PETN, 8% nitrocellulose, and 27% plasticizer.[1] Primasheet 1000 is olive green colored, and manufactured in 1.0, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 mm thicknesses.[1]

Primasheet 2000

Primasheet 2000 is an RDX-based rubberized sheet explosive.[1] It contains 88.2% RDX with the remainder plasticizer.[1] It is equally as powerful as C4.

SX2

A British military explosive, also manufactured by Ensign-Bickford. This is very similar or identical to commercial Primasheet 2000.[1]

gollark: This is all part of my plan to mildly reduce the speed of gibsonous software development in order for minoteaur (now written in Nim) to subsume all.
gollark: This isn't really better than an "options" struct with a bunch of defaults.
