I found this in the pdf spec for Cast Boosters:

•Hazardous Shipping Description
•Boosters, 1.1D UN 0042

[Petronski]

Is that definitive? Are you saying that label is only applied to boosters?


Hope so.

f. RDX (Clclotrimethylenetrinitramine, Cyclonite)



The name cyclonite was given to this explosive by Clarence J. Bain because of its cyclic structure and its cyclonic nature. The Germans call it Hexogen, the Italians T4.

Today, Cyclonite is probably the most important high brisance explosive. Its brisant power is high, owning to its high density and high detonation velocity. It is relatively insensitive as compared to PETN which has similar strength.

RDX is also used as a medicine, under the name of methenamine, used for the control of urinary tract infections, also used in the manufacturer of plastics, and as an accelerator for the vulcanization of rubber.

Uses: Manufacture of boosters, detonating cord, detonators, and placed in a plastic binder.

Properties

White crystalline solid or red depending on use. If used in detonating cord it will be red to pink.

High brisance
