  2. Ammonium perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate

    Ammonium perchlorate ("AP") is an inorganic compound with the formula NH 4 ClO 4.It is a colorless or white solid that is soluble in water. It is a powerful oxidizer.Combined with a fuel, it can be used as a rocket propellant called ammonium perchlorate composite propellant.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate...

    Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) is a solid rocket propellant. It differs from many traditional solid rocket propellants such as black powder or zinc-sulfur , not only in chemical composition and overall performance but also by being cast into shape, as opposed to powder pressing as with black powder.

    In the 1950s it bought Eston Chemicals, Western Electrochemical, and the Lindsay Chemical Company and further diversified its product line. During the Cold war era it produced ammonium perchlorate for U.S. missile industry, particularly for Falcon, Hawk, Minuteman, Nike Zeus, Pershing, Polaris, Scout, Sergeant, Tartar missiles. [8]

    The fuel/catalyst mixture is 90% 600-mesh dark flake aluminium powder, combined with the catalyst that is a mixture of 5% 325-mesh titanium sponge and 5% 200-mesh zirconium hydride [1] (with another patent document [10] listing 5% zirconium hydroxide). The oxidizer is a mixture of 85% 200-mesh ammonium nitrate and 15% ammonium perchlorate. [1]

  6. Nitronium perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitronium_perchlorate

    Nitronium perchlorate, NO 2 ClO 4, also known as nitryl perchlorate and nitroxyl perchlorate, is an inorganic chemical, the salt of the perchlorate anion and the nitronium cation. It forms colorless monoclinic crystals. It is hygroscopic, and is a strong oxidizing and nitrating agent. It may become hypergolic in contact with organic materials.

  7. Polybutadiene acrylonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybutadiene_acrylonitrile

    Polybutadiene acrylonitrile (PBAN) [1] copolymer, also noted as polybutadiene—acrylic acid—acrylonitrile terpolymer [2] is a copolymer compound used most frequently as a rocket propellant fuel mixed with ammonium perchlorate oxidizer. [3] It was the binder formulation widely used on the 1960s–1970s big boosters (e.g., Titan III and Space ...

  8. Perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perchlorate

    A perchlorate is a chemical compound containing the perchlorate ion, ClO − 4, the conjugate base of perchloric acid (ionic perchlorate). As counterions, there can be metal cations, quaternary ammonium cations or other ions, for example, nitronium cation (NO + 2). The term perchlorate can also describe perchlorate esters or covalent ...

    Both tests were done on 200 micron AP, the "nominal" size usually shipped in bulk (smaller particle sizes are available, but somewhat special order and nothing in the 15 micron range that I know of). These both conclude that 200 micron AP should not be designated a Class 1 explosive, but should keep its Class 4 oxidizer designation.
