12 February 2005 11:53
Nitrochemie's strength is the ability of adapting the system to the customer's requirements at short notice, as far as special weapon systems or new types of projectiles are concerned. Modern charge systems for mortars with ignition, container (horseshoe) and propellant form one unit, hereby the propellant plays the decisive role within the system.
Nitrochemie's spectrum of products, includes all types of single- and multi-base propellants filled into the most varied containers. Nitrochemie is one of the leading suppliers when it comes to competence in mortar charge systems. Apart from the permanent range of products, customized solutions can be offered at short notice. Various applications in the 51-120mm mortar sector have already been developed, qualified in accordance with international guidelines and put into service with success.
An important strategic position of Nitrochemie is the high-performance EI propellant for modular mortar charge systems. Wherever range and system compatibility are of central importance, the EI-propellant offers the best possibilities for constant quality and performance. The key for this lies in the propellant's diffusion stability.
The advantages over known classical products are:
- The improved long-term stability thanks to the reduced diffusion between charge container and propellant
- The good performance potential thanks to maximum utilization of the available volume
- The suitability for filling thanks to improved pourability
