PVV-12M Mixture

PVV-12M mixture is a homogeneous, non-hygroscopic, frost-resistant plastic mass ranging from white to light cream in color, containing RDX (90 ± 1.0%), an inert binder (10 ± 1.0%, comprising 4.5% SKDN rubber, 5.0% transformer or motor oil, 5.0% dioctyl sebacate), and the marking agent DMNB (mononitrotoluene) 0.5 ± 0.05. PVV-12M is used for filling explosive reactive armor of tanks and PTM-1G (PTM-1) anti-tank mines.
