(Inside Iran’s secret project to produce aluminium powder for missiles – Published on: June 24, 2020 – Reuters) – “According to the documents related to the aluminium powder programme reviewed by Reuters (Producing its own aluminium powder for use in missile propellants would give Iran greater control of the supply chain and quality), the Jajarm facility is run by Iran Alumina Company. IAC is a subsidiary of state-owned mines and metal holding company Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organisation (IMIDRO). IAC and IMIDRO did not reply to requests for comment. IAC’s website says the company operates a bauxite mine and an aluminium production facility at a complex located about 10 kilometers to the northeast of Jajarm. Bauxite is processed into alumina, which is used to produce aluminium metal. Aluminium powder is made from the metal. Aluminium powder is used in products ranging from paints and electronics to solar panels and fireworks. Due to its explosive qualities, aluminium powder is also a key ingredient in solid-fuel propellants used to launch rockets and missiles. When mixed with material containing oxygen, a vast amount of energy is released. IAC held talks with a Chinese company about obtaining equipment. The company identified in the documents is state-backed China Nonferrous Metal Industry’s Foreign Engineering and Construction Co, Ltd <000758.SZ>, also known as NFC. In the October 2011 letter to the head of the Revolutionary Guards missile programme, IAC’s Ghasemi wrote: “following your instructions, we have reached agreement with Mr. Li Xiaofeng … to provide part of the required machinery and equipment via the Chinese NFC firm” from a German company and a Japanese company. The letter’s subject line was: “atomization aluminum powder.” Li Xiaofeng was NFC’s assistant president and chief law officer, according to a letter Li sent to Ghasemi two months later.”
