Notes
  • Significance: During WWII, the plant made several significant contributions to explosives-manufacturing technology. It was the first large-scale facility to implement the nearly developed Bachmann process in the manufacture of the explosive RDX. At the same time, it streamlined the Bachmann method by instituting a slurry-based, continuous manufacturing process, and it also developed important new cooling and packaging procedures for composition B. As a result of these innovations, Holston became the world's largest producer of Composition B, the post powerful explosive until the development of nuclear weapons.
