Infrared countermeasures (IRCM) and missile countermeasure systems

We ensure that our countermeasures specified powders are amongst the best on the market through continual dialogue with end users and national standards authorities.
Research carried out and continually updated allows Almamet to supply to the current DEF STAN 13/30, MIL-M382C, MIL-P 1406B (MU) and many other customer variants.
Almamet’s ability to supply a complete range of cut, blended and spheroidal powders makes it a supplier of choice for customers that require unique and specific blends for their ship defence/ decoy systems.
Battlefield illuminations
As with many other pyrotechnic applications, Almamet’s expertise in providing unique and specific customer blends gives it a special position in the battlefield illumination market allowing the product scientists to tailor make their flares to meet all battlefield conditions.
Atomised magnesium powders
Almamet is at the forefront of magnesium powder technology through new atomised powder projects and improving existing cutting and milling technology of magnesium powders. This allows for powders of various morphology and size to be blended into customer-designed munitions.
Military-standard magnesium powders
Almamet can supply magnesium powders in conformance to all known national standards; namely MIL-382C: MIL-P 14067B(MU): DEF STAN 13/130 .
Where the customer requires specific shape, and distribution that is outside the norm, Almamet is usually the first point of contact in trying to achieve this.
