The main focus of Prochemist is the manufacturing of military black powder according to MIL-P-223C, GOST 1028-79, PN-C-86203 standards.
Military Black Powder MIL-P-223C, GOST 1028-79, PN-C-86203 is suitable for a wide range of applications. This military-grade black powder is utilized in over 300 types of ammunition, which include the M82 primer, used to ignite 155mm artillery propellant charges. It’s also used for the ignition of mortar propelling charge increments for 60mm, 81mm and 120mm mortars, as well as cruise and M16 rifle rounds. Our military black powder is employed, for instance, in ammunition for Leopard tanks and Tomahawk missiles. In each case, a small quantity of black powder acts as a detonator for a more potent explosive contained within the same bullet or missile. For example, a 155mm howitzer shell utilizes half an ounce of black powder placed adjacent to 26 pounds of a more powerful explosive.
We manufacture all military black powders with standard composition and parameters especially based on:
- MIL-P-223C (e.g. MIL 1 – 8)
- GOST 1028-79 (e.g. DRP-1, DRP-2, DRP-3, KR-75, TO-34)
- PN-C-86203 (e.g. D1, D2)
- INT DEF STAN 13-166/1, INT DEF STAN 13-167/2 (e.g. SFG, SMP, G)
- TL 1376 580 – 598 (e.g. Y 59XX-X)
Additionally, we also offer the production of sulfur-free powders or powders with the inclusion of graphite (as a retarder), as well as pressed powder in the form of pills with a mixture of smokeless powder.
