Single base powders

  • Flake and disc porous powders
  • Tubular powders
  • 7-perforated powders

The basic component of single base powders is nitrocellulose (90-98%). Various additives are used, such as chemical stabilizers, surface treatment substances, muzzle flash-reducing substances, and substances affecting the burning rate of the powder. The powder grains can be in the shape of cylinders, tubes, flakes, discs, or more-perforated cylinders.
Many of those powders have final surface treatment which has better burning characteristics. Single base powders are used in munitions and ammunition for pistols and rifles, mortars, canons, howitzers, and for other special uses in various branches of industry.
