HEAT M9A1 rigle grenade booster

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,
I'm looking for nature of explosive of the booster in the US AT rifle grenade M9A1.

From OP 1720, 1947, TETRYL



Cheers,

I thought it could be Tetryl, but I found a grey-black molded pellet in the brass holder.

yes,Tetryl

Tetryl I often saw was yellow (sand), so I assume a wartime modification for my find

Hi MINENAZ16
We use the DETEX kit for determining the type of explosive. It is a kit that is simple and without electronics, based on the principle of reagents that react with a sample of explosives and give a colored trace, and according to a comparison with the table, it will tell you whether it is an explosive.

Product :
The DETEX® system is based on color reactions of detection solutions with substances such as TNT, RDX. HMX, PETN, TETRYL or inorganic nitrates, chlorates and explosives based on organic peroxides (TATP, TCAP, HMTD), contained in dynamite, smokeless powders, plastic explosives, powder explosives, etc. The DETEX set contains numbered bottles with detection reagent, swab test paper, evaluation table and protective gloves.
I've used it and it's fast and functional...
