CL-20 is a synthetic explosive, with a performance approximately 20% higher than standard explosives.
The high burning rate is useful for great impulse energetics, such as rocket motor applications (boosters, etc.).
CL-20 is used as a filler in rocket propellants, high explosives, high energetic aluminized and minimum smoke composite propellants.
