Defense Related Chemical Expertise |
DTCS has expertise in the chemical manufacturing technology of a number of defense related chemicals.
Only US Department of State approved companies will be considered for transfer of the manufacturing technology.
- DTCS has developed an enviormentally friendly, low-cost production method for the large-scale production of DMDNB.
- DTCS has developed a cost effective process to prepare BDMPT.
- A safe method to prepare sodium dinitroethane, an intermediate in the preparation of bis(2,2-dintropropyl)acetal and –formal (BDNPA/F). This process improvement eliminated the incidence of explosions that were experienced in the previous process. Later, directed efforts resulted in the identification of impurities formed in the production of BDNPA/F and then defined the process control criteria necessary to eliminate, or minimize, these impurities from the final product. The results of this effort have significantly increased the shelf-life of BDNPA/F.
- A two-step batch process for the preparation of TATB (sym-triaminotrinitro-benzene) from s-trichloro-benzene.
- A continuous process using elemental fluorine to prepare fluorotrinitromethane. Production processes were also developed to convert this material into 2-fluoro-2, 2-dinitroethanol and bis(2-fluoro-2, 2-dinitroethyl)formal (FEFO).
- A process to prepare triaminoguanidinium nitrate (TAGN) starting from cyanamide.
- A two-step oxidative nitration process to prepare 2,2-dinitropropanediol-1, 3.
- A four-step process working with hazardous intermediates to prepare a polynitro formal (DINOL).
- A semi-continuous process to prepare 1,1-dinitroethane.
- A one-step process to prepare ethyl 4,4- dinitropentanoate.
- A two-step process to prepare 3,3-dinitropentane-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid.
