Chromatic 3D Materials makes cost-effective, tough elastomeric materials. Its process is being used to make industrial parts at scale. Now the film has turned into rocket propellant. The firm is fire testing its propellant at the Integrated Solutions for Systems (IS4S) test site. Rocket propellant, solid rocket motors, and the structures inside rockets and missiles are a major bottleneck for Western powers at the moment. The US has for some stockpiles depleted key land attack and cruise missiles by half or a third. If the US were to attempt a large war or long conflict, it would quickly run out of rockets. With precision munitions seen as a key underpinning of US operations and strategy, there is an exploding market for rocket propellant and solid rocket engines. Firehawk got a $60 millio
