RDX is an organic compound with the formula (O2-N2-C-H2)3.
The primary method of production is through the nitrolysis of hexamine with nitric acid
In this process, hexamine reacts with nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, glacial acetic acid, and acetic anhydride to form a crude product of RDX. This is then processed and purified to create usable RDX.
- Yet another process of creating RDX is by using HMX, another similar explosive compound. Through the direct nitration of HMX, some quantities of RDX can be produced. While effective, this process is not nearly as productive as other processes.
- RDX has several advantages over other explosives when it comes to production. Its ingredients are cheap and the process to create it is relatively safe, though there are neurological problems associated with acute exposure.
