Regardless of oxidizer selection, the solids fraction is expected to be below 12%, which is significantly less than many solid
rocket propellants which may contain 20% solid aluminum in the fuel.
For
rocket propellant, students had to prepare the chemical mixtures [themselves]."
Another issue with fireworks is potassium perchlorate - an inorganic salt used for a variety of products such as road flares, explosives, pyrotechnics and solid
rocket propellant.
The reduced-smoke
rocket propellant is a formulation used in Aerojet's heritage AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) motor.
He is accused of possessing Semtex,
rocket propellant, eight detonators, a quantity of improvised timers and power units, home made grenade initiators, a quantity of improvised incendiary devices, four AK assault rifles, six loaded magazines and a quantity of ammunition.

At the same time, organizations like the
Rocket Propellant Information Agency became vast clearinghouses open to all, limiting overlap in expensive research.
The "propergol"
rocket propellant and the warheads' explosive content will be burnt at very high temperature in a special furnace, emissions from which will pass through several stages of filtration.
The goal of this project was to improve the performance of a model
rocket propellant through the addition of other chemicals while retaining the safety and castability of the propellant.
High-performance solid
rocket propellant can be impact-sensitive in itself.
Perchlorate is a chemical found in the environment both from natural sources and from human activities, including the production of explosives and
rocket propellant. Perchlorate found in soil, groundwater, irrigation water and even rainwater can be absorbed by plants or by animals that eat those plants or drink perchlorate containing water; it is through this route that food may come to contain perchlorate.
Ammonium perchlorate (perchlorate) is a primary ingredient in solid
rocket propellant and has been used for decades by the Department of Defense (DOD), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the defense industry in the manufacturing, testing, and firing of rockets and missiles.
