Defence-Focused Applications

• Magnum & long-range rifle powders – higher base energy without dual-base nitroglycerine complications.

• Mortar increment sticks & artillery bag charges – dense gas output for heavy projectiles.

• Tracer / sub-sonic booster layers – consistent burn at lower chamber temperatures.

• Igniters for composite rockets – rapid flame spread, low residue.

Industrial Side Uses

Though optimised for ballistics, Grade B can also formulate extra-hard nitrocellulose lacquers, fast-dry leather finishes and high-adhesion flexo inks where greater film strength is needed.

Safety & Compliance Highlights

• Classified UN 2555 – Division 4.1 (Flammable Solid), Packing Group II.

• Drying, blending or granulation must occur in licensed ATEX / OSHA explosives plants.

• ISO 9001 & 45001 certified production; ITAR / BAFA export-control ready.
