Propellant Additives
High energy content—and a kinetics bottleneck
High energy content—and a kinetics bottleneck
Compounds and additives offer extremely high combustion heat, but real-world performance is often limited by oxidation kinetics tied to particle size, crystallinity and the technical usability of the fundamentally excellent material properties.
Conventional production constrains purity, particle size, and post-processing burden
Conventional production constrains purity, particle size, and post-processing burden
Standard approaches can lead to partially crystalline material, grain growth, and heavy post-processing, making it difficult to reach the ultra-high purity, nanoscale, amorphous and functionalized booster materials required for top performance.
The AMEPCO propellant production process concept
High-performance compound additives
The AMEPCO process uses innovative and advanced synthesis methods to produce high-energy, storage-stable booster materials that are easier to control in terms of their oxidation kinetics. Our production processes are based on decades of experience in research and production in this field and far outperform traditional synthesis methods.
Our production methods enable us to produce customer-specific boosters, manufacture surface-functionalized materials, and enrich them with carbon or nitrogen, for example.
