Plastics and polymers may be added to bind powders of explosive compounds; waxes may be incorporated to make them safer to handle; aluminium powder may be introduced to increase total energy and blast effects.
48.
Though it could theoretically be mixed with other explosive compounds in castable mixtures or other use forms, the applications for such forms would be unclear since they would largely undo the insensitivity of pure TATB.

What I need is just a software into which I can plug the equations for each of the above explosive compounds, in order to automate the process of calculating blast radii, and thereafter animate the explosion.
