Der Textteil beschreibt ausführlich mehr als 500 Begriffe in alphabetischer Reihenfolge, darunter über 120 mit Strukturformel und Daten versehene chemische Verbindungen mit Explosivcharakter.
Zu fast jeder Verbindung werden die wichtigsten chemisch-physikalischen und sicherheitstechnischen Kenndaten aufgeführt; die Gefahrgutregularien wurden gründlich überarbeitet. Der Leser findet außerdem Angaben zu den Herstellungsverfahren und Verwendungsmöglichkeiten dieser Stoffe sowie zu etwa 70 Additiven, Brennstoffen und Oxidantien.
Das Fraunhofer Institut für Chemische Technologie in Pfinztal hat aus der ICT-Thermodynamik-Datenbank, die für das Buch relevanten Verbindungen ausgesucht und sie auf einer CD-ROM zur Verfügung gestellt. Diese bietet über das Buch hinaus zusätzliche thermodynamische Daten, Hinweise zu weiterführender Literatur und vor allem eine zeitgemäße Suchmöglichkeit.
Etwa 1500 Einträge im Schlagwortregister, die Angabe der englischen und französischen Übersetzungen und die Erklärung von Kurzbezeichnungen machen dieses Buch zu einem umfassenden und aktuellen Lexikon.
