We proudly bring industry back to U.S. soil. Paligen Chemical constructs and develops chemical production facilities across the country and significantly strengthens our nation’s supply of critical munitions.

In-depth Knowledge Top Notch Engineers

Paligen Chemical brings deep expertise in energetic materials, including propellants, explosives, and critical ingredients used in their manufacturing.  Our world-class engineering team designs, develops, operates, and maintains chemical manufacturing plants with peak efficiency. We also provide cutting-edge research and development of energetic molecules in collaboration with our network of trusted partners.

Paligen Chemical is committed to integrating the latest technologies, maximizing operational safety, and minimizing explosive hazards to deliver efficient, reliable, and responsible manufacturing solutions.

Revitalizing the Industrial Base

Our Capabilities

Paligen Chemical’s expertise encompasses energetic and explosive material, in addition to facilities for propellant production, associated acid and solvent reconcentration, and wastewater treatment. We provide advanced chemical manufacturing plants, from the initial design through long-term operations. These facilities incorporate technologies capable of delivering a variety of explosive materials and mixtures, including explosive powders (PETN, RDX, and HMX), castable products (TNT, Comp. B, and IMX-104), and other castable and moldable CXM/PBX materials. Paligen Chemical will continue to revitalize the industrial base with the development of the first U.S. domestic TNT facility in the United States since the 1980s.

Our Products

We engineer high-performance energetic systems that pack massive chemical energy into compact spaces. When triggered, controlled heat and high-pressure gas begin powering heavy-duty mechanical work.

Paligen Chemical’s novel and innovative solutions strategically leverage this chemical energy across a diverse portfolio of products. We provide integrated design/build solutions for energetic materials, explosives, and propellants. Our team’s industrial knowledge advances the synthesis, production, and mixing of energetic materials and propellants through advanced technologies and modernized practices.
