Cordite is a smokeless propellant that was developed in the late 19th century and used primarily in military applications, particularly in artillery and small arms ammunition. It was invented in the United Kingdom by Sir Frederick Augustus Abel and Sir Boothby Graham, and first introduced for use in 1889. Cordite is composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin, along with a stabilizer and other additives.
