The project was subsidized by the state budget. Task commissioned by the President of the Lukasiewicz Center
Title: “Development of nitroguanidine synthesis technology for the production of propellants” Pol-NQ
Total project value: PLN 5,091,312.50
Grant value: PLN 5,091,312.50
Date of signing the grant agreement: 28.08.2025.
The project is being implemented by a Consortium composed of:
- Łukasiewicz – Institute of Industrial Chemistry named after Professor Ignacy Mościcki – Leader
- Łukasiewicz – Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry
The aim of the project is to develop modern and efficient technological solutions for obtaining guanidine nitrate(V) and nitroguanidine for the needs of the defense industry. Particular emphasis will be placed on obtaining a high-purity product that meets stringent quality and safety requirements, in accordance with international standards (including NATO-STANAG 4026).
The project includes comprehensive research and development work conducted by an interdisciplinary team of specialists. The technologies under development are aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the Polish industry, ensuring independence from external suppliers and implementing innovative solutions in the field of ammunition components production technology.
The result of the project will be the development of nitroguanidine synthesis technology, enabling the production of high quality and safe materials, with the potential for application in the defense industry.
