Design New Lacquer Preparation Facility for RDX and HMX Production at Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP)

s forthe production of all plastic bonded explosives (PBX). The facility receives, stores, handles, and processes the bindermaterials and solvents in manufacturing the lacquer in explosives production. Mobile wagons are used to transfer lacquerfrom the facility to the explosives production buildings

. Lacquer is a mixture of dissolved rubbery polymer materials in asolvent that is used as a binding agent in reducing the sensitivity of RDX, HMX, and TATB based explosives formulations.A plasticizer instead of lacquer may also be prepared
