Soft and malleable, C4 can be applied to irregular and/or curved surfaces in order to efficiently cut structural beams and girders-or used to breach steel or armor-reinforced doors and entryways.

  C-4 (explosive) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C-4 is made up of explosive, plastic binder, plasticizer and, usually, marker or taggant chemicals such as 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMDNB) to help detect the explosive and identify its source.
As with many plastic explosives, the explosive material in C-4 is RDX (also known as cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) which makes up around 91% of the C-4 by weight.
C-4 is a typical explosive used in many movies, TV shows and video games, and is prominently used in the Bruce Willis film Die Hard, where an enormous amount is used to destroy a huge plaza building.
