That's way you would look for the reason the material failed. See, that's why Jones & Co. "found" thermite. They were looking for a reason the building was CD'd with no sound of HE. Thus when they found aluminum, iron oxide, etc they said "aha! Just as we thought!" When people who were able to dismiss preconceived notions looked at it they were able to remember that aluminum, iron oxide, etc weren't unusual in a building & with all of the other evidence found that heat, & stress (& Impact damage for1&2) for prolonged periods (for 7) caused the collapse.
It could depend on what the substance was designed to do. High energy, reasonable noise suppression? Your guess is as good as mine.
Edited to add: It would also likely be easy to apply, and if it resembled paint, all the better.
