Detailed Product Description:

Ammonium Perchlorate (“AP” or “APC) is a white crystalline powder,

soluble in water—the salt of ammonia and perchloric acid.  As with

all perchlorates, it is a powerful oxidizer. 

Mild heating results in liberation of chlorine, nitrogen, oxygen and water.

High temperatures must be avoided and can lead to detonation. 

The gaseous decomposition products are in general ammonia-based and

chlorine-based compounds and can react together generating a thin pre-mixed

flame very close to the crystal surface.  When AP is mixed with a fuel (like a

metal powder or mixed with a polymeric binder) it can generate self-sustained

combustion far under atmospheric pressure.  These propellants are known as

Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellants (“APCP”).
