Class 1.5 explosive
Very insensitive explosive that has a mass explosive hazard but is so insensitive that there is very little probability of initiation or of transition from burning to detonating under normal conditions of transport; large quantities, however, have a higher probability of detonation subsequent to burning; previously designated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as a blasting agent.
