Quality Control

Our 1,3,5,7-Tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX) is manufactured and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, particle size, and stability relevant to energetic material applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area dedicated for energetic materials, away from heat sources, ignition points, and incompatible substances. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept sealed under dry conditions. Follow all local, national, and international regulations for the storage of explosive materials.
