Regional conflicts around the world are increasing day by day, and the Octogen market has broad room for development.

The chemical name of Octogen (HMX for short) is cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine, which is the explosive with the best comprehensive performance currently used in the military. Octopin appears as white crystalline powder, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in glacial acetic acid at room temperature, and soluble in acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide. Octopin has low toxicity, but still has certain risks. Octometal is a high-energy organic explosive with the characteristics of high detonation velocity, high density, and good high-temperature thermal stability. It is mainly used in high-tech fields such as filling pyrotechnics, satellite launches, mixed explosives, and rocket propellants.

According to the “2022-2026 China Octopin Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that Octopin is mainly used in the field of national defense and military industry. In recent years, thanks to the development of the global military industry, the Octopin market has continued to expand. By 2021, the global Octopin market will have reached US$2.234 million. . The current international situation is grim, regional conflicts are intensifying, and even wars are ongoing. Against this background, the Octon gold market has great potential for development. It is expected that the global Octon gold market will maintain an average annual compound rate of 3.8% from 2022 to 2027. Growth rate increases.

Globally, the Octopus gold market is mainly concentrated in North America, Europe, China and other regions. North America is the largest Octopin consumer market in the world, accounting for more than 30% of consumption, followed by Europe. In recent years, with the increase in my country’s defense investment and the advancement of scientific research and technology, the Octogen market has developed rapidly. At this stage, my country has become one of the major consumers of Octogen in the world. It is expected that in the next five years, my country’s Octogen market will grow rapidly. The growth rate of the Keto gold market will be higher than the global average.

In the international market, the main suppliers of Octogen include Eurenco, Chemring Group, Prva Iskra-Namenska, Austin Powder, Nitrochem, etc. In the domestic market, the enterprises and institutions engaged in the research and production of Octogen in my country include Northern China. Chemical Research Institute Group Co., Ltd., Xinjiang Explosive Safety Science Autonomous Region Key Laboratory, Gansu Yinguang Chemical Industry Group, China Academy of Engineering Physics, etc.

The preparation process of Octogen includes acetic anhydride method, nitrourea method, Zongtai method, etc. Among them, the acetic anhydride method is the current mainstream preparation process of Octogen. However, the reaction process of the acetic anhydride method is complex, the cost of raw materials is high, and the product purification is difficult. The yield of Octogen is low. Affected by factors such as raw materials, preparation processes, and production costs, the application of Octogen is subject to certain restrictions. How to reduce production currently? Cost and optimization of preparation processes are still important research topics in the field of Octogen.

Octogen has four crystal forms: α, β, γ, and δ, among which the β form is the most common stable crystal form. Industry analysts said that as a high-energy organic explosive, Octogen is widely used in military, aerospace and other fields. After years of development, our country has become one of the world’s major consumers of Octogen. In the future, with the increasingly severe international situation and the development of the military industry, the Octopus market will have broad room for development.
