Also known as hexogen, T4, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine, cyclotrimethylene trinitramine, Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine, Trimethylenetrinitramine, 1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane

RDX (Research Department Explosive or Royal Demolition Explosive), or hexogen, also known by other names, is an organic compound with the formula (CH2N2O2)3. It is white, odorless, tasteless, and widely used as an explosive. Chemically, it is classified as a nitroamine alongside HMX, which is a more energetic explosive than trinitrotoluene (TNT). It was used widely in World War II and remains common in military applications. It is lower performing and more toxic than modern replacements like TKX-50.
