Development of biodegradable ammunition

POLYMEX has developed a "biodegradable" ball for ammunition for recreational weapons such as: Powderball.

A specific specification was established with this client to develop a ball:

• 100% biodegradable and preferably biobased
  
• The Final Material must meet established mechanical criteria
• The final manufacturing cost will be included in a range defined by the customer.

Here is a brief summary of the different stages that made up this project:

• Definition of specifications
• Documentary study - Bibliographic watch
• Definition of possible processes for industrial production
• Search for raw material suppliers
• Manufacturing of first prototypes
• Tests on the first prototypes
• Summary of prototypes
• Improvement phase
• Validation of the final prototype
• Going into production
  

=> This project resulted in the production of 100% logs designed by POLYMEX and developed thanks to the analytical study and the experience of research engineers .
