• Trialen 105: TNT 70%, RDX 15%, Al 15%
• Trialen 106: TNT 50%, RDX 25%, Al 25%
• Trialen 107: TNT 50%, RDX 20%, Al 30%
• Trialen 105/109: a mixture of 27% Trialen 105 and 73% PMF 109. PMF 109 was a mixture consisting of 71% cyclonite, 25% aluminium powder and 4% montan wax. Though highly brisant and thermobaric, this mixture was infusible and quite impact sensitive, hence ill suited for filling large caliber munitions. These drawbacks were overcome by the so-called Stuckfüllung, or "biscuit filling", method: the pulverulent PMF 109 mixture was compressed into small cylindrical, tablet-like pellets and these were poured into the munition body, the space between them being filled with molten fusible Trialen 105; this method allowed the German munition factories to produce large, quasi homogenous fillings containing a high proportion of cyclonite and hence high energy output and brisance by a simple variant of the melt casting process, while simultaneously conserving the trotyl needed to do so.
