explodable
Able to blow
Explodable describes something capable of exploding or being made to explode: The bomb squad identified several explodable devices.
The word applies to anything that can detonate, burst violently, or be triggered to do so—explosives, pressurized containers, volatile chemicals.
Less common than "explosive" but emphasizes potential rather than inherent nature.
