I was wondering if any one new how to make P.E 4 or had some info on it. I have searched the net and this site. I haven't found any thing useful. Any help is appreciated.

PE = 86 PETN/ 14 WAX
PE 4 = 88 RDX/ 12 plasticizer
PE 6 = 6-polyethylene
PE4 = 88 RDX/ 12 grease
PEG = polyethylene glycol

PE 4 is analogous to composition C.it can be improvised by intimate blending of Vaseline grease and fine granulated PETN or RDX in the same proportion.88%explosive and 12% grease.I think its already mentioned in the topic composition C.in the same section.
