Chemical
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
Our world-class engineering team expertly 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.

Revitalizing the Industrial Base
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.
