    The spherical powder is a nitro-cellulose smokeless powder manufactured using a wet process technique developed in the 1930s, which combines increased safety with flexibility. The spherical powder is generally a double base smokeless powder coated with a burning modifier to ensure progressive combustion and optimal ballistic properties. It is suitable for loading all types of military and civilian ammunition up to 40mm calibre, as well as for other applications such as power tools, breaking charges, and automotive gas generators. Spherical powders offer superior stability, storage, reduced barrel wear and hygroscopicity, higher density, and ballistic uniformity compared to conventional powders.

    The spherical powder is a nitro-cellulose smokeless powder PB Clermont S.A. ,


    manufactured according to an original process developed in rue de Clermont, 176
    the years 30s, by the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation - B-4480 ENGIS (Belgique)
    USA. Tl +32 (0) 4 273 82 82

    The wet process technique is used for the manufacture of this powder,
    E-mail : [email protected]
    which is in fact its most essential and typical feature. The process
    combines increased safety with high flexibility and adaptation to
    numerous applications.

    The spherical powder is generally a double base smokeless powder,


    coated with a burning modifier that ensures a progressive combustion
    and consequently optimal ballistic properties. The grains are graphited
    and may have their surface covered by a flash-less agent and, in some
    cases, a copper less-agent. The bulk density can range between 500
    and 1050g/l.

    The spherical powder is perfectly suitable for the loading of all types of
    military ammunitions (including blank) for calibre up to 40 mm, as well as
    for mortar bombs. It satisfies the most severe specifications. It meets
    the NATO requirements, as well as the national ones (Europeans,
    Russians, ).

    Spherical powder is also perfectly suitable for the loading of


    civilian ammunitions for rifle or handgun satisfying the CIP and
    /or SAAMI requirements.
    Beside shotshells for sport or hunting, ammunitions for
    competition or peace keeping forces, it is also used in many
    other applications like: power tools, breaking charges in
    spatial application, ammunitions for cattle killing, cartridges
    for furnaces cleaning in cement industry, cartridges for gas
    generators in the automotive industry,

    Spherical powders present superiority over conventional


    powders:

    1. A better physical and chemical stability


    2. A better storage guarantee
    3. Less barrel wear due to a lower flame temperature
    4. Reduced hygroscopicity
    5. Higher bulk density
    6. Improved loading density in connection also with the
    excellent free flowing characteristics
    7. Ballistic uniformity at extreme utilisation temperatures
