Planning a major revision of this article
This article refers to Composition C as a family of explosives, but the original invention by the British during World War II was a particular formulation with this name. Later, the explosive was standardized by the US Army as Composition C-1. Still later, improvements were made to the useful temperature range, stability, water resistance and shock sensitivity, and these new formulations were called Composition C-2, C-3 and C-4. All of them use RDX as the energetic component, but differ in the binder/plasticizer components.
I plan to rewrite this article focusing on the original Composition C but will include a section on the development of C-2 and C-3. The only variant in significant use today is C-4, which is manufactured in amounts of about 4 million pounds per year. C-4 (explosive) is covered in a separate Wikipedia article, so I will simply refer readers to that article rather than duplicate it.
If anyone has comments or suggestions, please make them known here. Thanks. -ChemWorx (talk) 09:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
