Ammonium Perchlorate (AP)

Ammonium Perchlorate (AP)

Application

AP has been used as proper oxidizer comprising 70-80% of rocket solid propellants.

Packaging Ammonium perchlorate is stored in metal drum (max 50 kg) and kept in dry condition. The transportation for AP is not done according to dangerous material rule. It is carried by trucks and then is stored in a covered area without water spray and any moisture.

Shelf life: This product cannot be stored more than 3 years. In case of use after 3 years, it is necessary to test AP as per performance and quality parameters.

Hazard class: 1.1D

Specification and performance Composite propellants are the most important group for rocket solid propellant. Basically the composite propellant including ammonium perchlorate (60-80%) is a viscous material such as HTPB (10-15%)

and metal fuel such as aluminium powder (15-20%). Since Ammonium Perchlorate comprises high percentage of a composite propellant and with regard to the considered strategy in defense department that is based on rocket industries.

Ammonium Perchlorate is specified technically in four different grades and 19 tests have been designed in term of quality control for AP, but the main performance properties of AP include purity, moisture, average size, granulation, chloride and particle morphology
