Humidity Control in Explosives and Ammunition Manufacturing

Connect with a Humidity Control Expert

Benefits

In explosive and ammunition manufacturing and storage environments, keeping relative humidity in the 50–55% RH range improves safety and material stability and lowers reject rates.

Reduction of ESD Risks

Raising RH to the mid-range improves conductivity of surfaces & air so charges dissipate instead of building up, which can result in a damaging discharge.

Dust and Particle Reduction

Higher RH promotes particle agglomeration and deposition (less airborne dust), reducing dust-related runnability and ignition sources.

Material and Components Stability

Propellants, binders and polymer components change dimensionally with humidity. Controlled RH reduces shrinkage, cracking and rejects.
