Simple: Dynamite is just a media soaked in Nitroglycerin. (the ‘BOOM’ part)

Nitro is a liquid, a very unstable and dangerous liquid.

Dynamite is just a matrix of absorbent and stabilizer that contains the nitro. It makes Nitro ‘safer’.

Over time, the Nitro will sweat out of the matrix, becoming unstable again.
