Zirconium potassium perchlorate(ZPP) is an igniter composed of potassium perchlorate as an oxidizing agent and zirconium as a fuel with a Viton binder. ZPP has been used to provide an ignition source in the aerospace, propulsion, and automotive industries. This study investigates the manufacturing process and characteristics of ZPP, such performance and shape/calorimetry/pressure characteristics with respect to pyrotechnic mechanical device(PMD). During the production of ZPP, the mixing process was designed to produce uniform particle size and shape by mixing the raw materials at high speed.

ZPP(Zirconium Potassium Perchlorate) is an igniter composed of potassium perchlorate as oxidizing agent and zirconium as fuel with a Viton binder. ZPP is used to provide ignition in the aerospace, propulsion, automotive industries. This research is investigated for the manufacturing process and characteristics analysis of the ZPP such as the performance and shape/calorimetry/pressure characteristics of the ZPP on PMD(Pyrotechnic Mechanical Device). During the production of ZPP, the mixing process was designed so that the ZPP could be produced in uniform particle size and shape by mixing the raw materials at high speed.
