Abstract
Crystals of cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX) are dissolved in a suitable solvent, as are crystals of ammonium perchlorate. The two solutions are then mixed thoroughly and desiccated. This produces cocrystals of HMX and ammonium perchlorate that may be used as an oxidizer in rocket propellant, pyrotechnic materials, or in gas generators. Stoichiometric proportions are 50 parts of HMX to 30 parts of ammonium perchlorate.
