'''C-7 foaming explosive''' is a highly explosive compound that is used in demolitions by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces. It is comprised of various chemicals that react to a signal electrical current shock sent through a detonation switch. It is liquid in vacuum, but once contact with a hard surface and oxygen occurs, it becomes a foaming, semi-solid adhesive resin.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 284''</ref>

Its most notable use is when Corporal [[Locklear]] used it to destroy the [[Menachite Forerunner crystal]] (the reason why the Covenant were chasing them), leading to his death.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref>

C-4 is short for "Composition 4", therefore it is likely that C-7 means "Composition 7." It is also likely that it is simply a codename based on the order in which it was developed, not an indicator of its explosive power.
*In the present, there is a very effective explosive called C-4, possibly a precursor of C-7.
 
*C-4 is short for "Composition 4", therefore it is likely that C-7 means "Composition 7." It is also likely that it is simply a codename based the order in which it was developed, not an indicator of its explosive power (i.e. being 1.75 times as powerful as C-4).
==List of appearances==
*It is mentioned only once when [[Master Chief]] talked about his training as a [[Spartan-II]].
*''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' {{1st}}
*The most likely reason C-7 was developed was so that the users would be able to simply spray it onto the surface.
*''[[Halo: First Strike]]''
*C-7 is another reference to [[7]].
*''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]''
*In [[Halo: Fall of Reach]], Samuel-034 used C-7 to destroy an airlock while trying to capture a rebel leader.
**''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion|Invasion]]''
*The properties of C-7 are more than likely similar to the yellow expanding foam used for insulation and sealing in construction.
*''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''
