Description : Ethyl Centralite (1,3-Diethyl-1,3-diphenylurea), recognised globally as Centralite I, is the industry-standard stabiliser and burning rate moderator for advanced nitrocellulose-based systems. Its superior compatibility with nitroglycerin makes it an indispensable component in high-performance ballistics. Ethyl Centralite (CAS: 85-98-3) is characterised by its lower melting point (72°C) compared to its methyl counterpart, which allows for easier incorporation and gelatinisation in solventless propellant manufacturing. As a leading CDMO partner, we optimise the production of Centralite I to ensure a crystalline form that exhibits high solubility in organic solvents (Ethanol/Acetone) and explosive oils like Nitroglycerin. Our GMP manufacturing process ensures the removal of low-volatility impurities that could otherwise cause "sweating" or surface migration in finished ammunition.By maintaining a rigorous API scale-up mentality for industrial chemicals, we provide a product with the high-authority technical profile required for military contracts and Tier-1 commercial ammunition production. We provide industrial-scale Ethyl Centralite. Our facility supports the entire lifecycle from process development to a 20 MT+ annual supply, backed by comprehensive Ethyl Centralite COA, TDS, and global regulatory compliance documentation (REACH/TSCA).
