Chemical & Response Details
| Also known as | Artillery propellant chargesGun propelling chargesCannon powder chargesPropellant bags |
| Appearance | Solid propellant charges typically in fabric bags or cartridge cases, containing nitrocellulose-based or composite propellants. Usually gray, green, or brown granular or stick powder. Characteristic propellant odor. |
| Flash Point | Not applicable (energetic material) |
| Boiling Point | Not applicable (decomposes before boiling) |
| Vapor Density | Not applicable (solid propellant) |
| Water Reactivity | No significant reaction with water, though may degrade propellant over time |
| Extinguishing | Water spray to cool containers, CO2, dry chemical; foam not typically used |
| PPE | ⚠️ Level B minimum; SCBA required; full protective clothing; fragment protection recommended |
| Isolation | ERG 112: isolate 500m all directions in all cases; if fire or cargo exposed to intense heat, evacuate 1600m radius |
Chemical details are general reference only. Always verify with current SDS, ERG, and SOP/SOG.
Common hazards (high level)
- Fire and burning hazard — not mass explosion.
- Intense heat and possible fragment projection.
- May deflagrate and initiate other materials.
- Smoke and toxic combustion products.
First actions (field-minded)
- CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper.
- Isolate area; stage upwind — fire and fragment hazard.
- Request Hazmat + law enforcement.
- Control ignition sources; deny entry.
- Consult current ERG Guide 112 and follow SOP/SOG.
