Photograph of a case of BAM Nobel-Bozel dynamite-gum cartridges displayed in the museum of the former Dynamiterie de Paulilles, France. Cartridges of 100g, case of 25kg.

Dynamite is a high explosive made of nitroglycerin, sorbents (such as powdered shells or clay) and stabilizers. After its invention, it rapidly gained wide-scale use as a more powerful alternative to black powder. Dynamite has been mainly used in mining, quarrying, construction, and demolition.
