Reduced sensitivity RDX (RS‐RDX) particles are now available from several manufacturers. But a clear understanding of this reduced sensitivity behavior is not yet available. RS‐RDX particles are usually employed in cast formulations to reduce their shock sensitivity. The use of RS‐RDX in pressed formulations is more recent and does not always give reduced sensitivity formulations.
