Solid rocket propellant chemicals form the core material system used in ammonium perchlorate composite propellant programmes. The portfolio combines an oxidizer, a metallic fuel and a polymer binder selected for qualified solid-propellant applications: available exclusively through controlled, programme-specific supply channels.

Core material system
Each constituent provides a distinct function within the cured composite. Final material grades, purity, morphology and acceptance criteria remain specific to the authorised motor programme and contracted technical documentation.
01 · BINDER
HTPB
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene
A viscous liquid polymer serving as the binder and fuel matrix. In the qualified cured system it provides a tough, flexible structure that binds the solid ingredients and supports grain integrity.
02 · OXIDIZER
Ammonium Perchlorate
Primary inorganic oxidizer
A white crystalline salt that provides the oxidizing function within the composite system. Programme-specific particle profiles support the required qualified ballistic characteristics.
03 · METALLIC FUEL
Aluminium Powder
Energy and performance contributor
A fine metallic fuel incorporated to increase the energy contribution of the qualified propellant system and support programme-specific performance objectives.

Programme-specific material supply
Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV can support authorised customers with material selection, qualified supplier coordination, conformity documentation, controlled packaging and specialised logistics.
The final chemical grade, purity, particle profile, quantity, packaging, delivery condition and acceptance framework are established through the contracted technical and regulatory programme.
