Ignition powders

A satisfactory ignition system requires the ignition powder to ignite the propellant at all operational temperatures and achieve optimum ignition transfer to the propellant.
1305

The ignition propellant must ignite the propellant in such a manner that

  • the ignited propellant meets all interior ballistic requirements such as peak pressure, muzzle velocity, ignition time,
  • a pressure-time curve of combustion in the cartridge case or chamber will not show any irregularities or high standard deviation in maximum pressure,
  • round-to-round velocity deviation is kept to a minimum thanks to excellent lot-to-lot reproducibility at our production plant.
