Micronite

Micronite was the name given to a tiny timed explosive charge developed by General Airen Cracken. Micronite was created by using a gram of detonite wrapped inside a piece of flexible, wadable material like SlipSheet or a Godon Frezzes wrapper. This was then wrapped around the target to destroy, usually a wire, then connected to a timer, hence the term "micronite."
