Ammonium perchlorate of HHHTech
 Ammonium perchlorate is an inorganic compound with the formula NH4ClO4. It is the salt of ammonium and perchlorate. All perchlorates are potentially powerful oxidizers, but ammonium perchlorate is especially labile.
The combustion of such compound is quite complex and is widely studied. Ammonium perchlorate crystals decompose before melting, even though a thin liquid layer has been observed on crystal surface during high pressure combustion processes.The gaseous decomposition products are in general ammonia- and chlorine-based and can react together generating a thin premixed flame very close to the crystal surface. Pure crystals cannot sustain a flame below the pressure of 20 bar (2 MPa). Nevertheless, the material is considered hazardous if ground under 15 micrometres. When AP is mixed with a fuel (like a metal powder or mixed with a polymeric binder) it can generate self-sustained combustion also far under atmospheric pressure.It is an important oxidizer used in solid rocket propellants known as ammonium perchlorate composite propellants (APCP). Uses include the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters, manufactured by Alliant Techsystems (ATK), as well as many other solid rockets including some fireworks, amateur and hobby high powered rockets, and larger rockets used for space launch and military purposes.

Usage of Ammonium perchlorate
Some "breakable" epoxy contain suspensions of AP. Upon heating to 300 °C, the AP degrades the organic adhesive, breaking the cemented joint. More Ammonium perchlorate producers worldwide have selected HHH Solutions' Ammonium perchlorate technology than any other technology supplier. HHH Solutions is the world leader in Ammonium perchlorate technology for both on-site and merchant facilities. Our Ammonium perchlorate technology is based on our research efforts as well as the experience gained from the design, construction, start up and operation of plants worldwide.The HHH Solutions Ammonium perchlorate electrolytic system consists of electrolyzers, a reactor, a cooler and the inter-connecting piping. When direct current is applied, the hydrogen gas produced displaces liquor and reduces the specific gravity of the electrolyzer and the outlet piping contents. The resultant specific gravity differential between the liquor in the electrolyzer and that in the reactor creates a high rate of circulation. This natural circulation system for chlorate production, which was developed by HHH Solutions, provides the desired flow rate through the cells which is necessary for efficient operation. The heat produced in the electrolyzers is removed by an external cooler, which maintains the electrolytic system at its optimum operating temperature. The reactor is designed to provide the retention time required for conversion of intermediate reaction products to Ammonium perchlorate.
