Explosives commonly used in blasting caps include mercury fulminate, lead azide, lead styphnate and tetryl and DDNP . The blasting cap is stored separately and not inserted into the main explosive charge until just before use, keeping the main charge safe.

Tetryl is a nitramine booster explosive, though its use has been largely superseded by RDX . Tetryl is a sensitive secondary high explosive used as a booster, a small charge placed next to the detonator in order to propagate detonation into the main explosive charge.

Additional tests were done including the " pendulum friction test ", which measured a five-second explosion temperature of 263 �C to 290 �C . The minimum initiating charge required is 0.2 grams of lead azide or 0.1 grams of tetryl.

Composition C-2 contained a slightly smaller proportion of RDX, but used an explosive plasticiser, which contained tetryl, nitrocellulose and a mixture of nitroaromatics produced during the manufacture of TNT ( containing trinitrotoluene, dinitrotoluene and mononitrotoluene ), and a trace of solvent.

Also included are the aromatic nitro-, amino-, and pyridilium-deratives : nitrobenzene, dinitrobenzene, trinitrotoluene, paramethylaminophenol sulfate ( Metol ), dinitro-ortho-cresol, aniline, trinitrophenylmethylnitramine ( tetryl ), hexanitrodiphenylamine ( aurantia ), phenylenediamines, and paraquat.

After analyzing bomb fragments and debris from the bus attack, police concluded that the device was made of TNT and tetryl _ explosives that are readily available in the Philippines for mining and quarrying, said Restituto Mosqueda, senior superintendent of the national police's crime laboratory group.
28.
It is more difficult to detonate than primary explosives, so dropping or igniting it will typically not cause an explosion ( at atmospheric pressure it is difficult to ignite and burns relatively slowly ), but is more sensitive to shock and friction than other secondary explosives such as TNT or tetryl.

Tetryl replaced picric acid because it is more stable, and was once a very popular chemical for booster charges, particularly during World War II . However, since then Tetryl has largely been replaced by other compositions, e . g . a small cylinder or pellet of phlegmatized RDX ( e . g.
