Proven in propulsion and chemical systems where thermal stability, reliability, and decomposition efficiency are critical. DCL’s hydrogen peroxide decomposition catalysts facilitate the controlled breakdown of high-concentration hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen and water vapor, releasing heat. This reaction is clean and energy-dense but kinetically slow without the right catalyst. Decomposition catalysts developed by DCL accelerate reactions while maintaining structural and chemical stability under demanding conditions.
High Velocity, Low Pressure Drop
Engineered for high-thrust propulsion systems exceeding
2,000 m/s gas velocities.
Extreme Surface Area
Compact 3,000 cpsi substrates with 4,000 cpsi variants currently in development to meet evolving performance demands.
Sustainable Durability
Combines thermal and mechanical resilience with proprietary wash coat adhesion extends service life in extreme environments.
DCL’s Metalcor decomposition catalyst integrates a high-surface-area metal substrate with a chemically stable active layer, enhancing reaction kinetics while preserving structural integrity under thermal stress. Metalcor’s high thermal conductivity promotes efficient heat dissipation, minimizing stress and extending service life. Catalyst scientists at DCL develop proprietary solutions to minimize wash coat erosion and maintain consistent decomposition rates reliably.
Hydrogen peroxide is gaining renewed attention as a clean oxidizer for propulsion, energy systems, and medical sterilization. It decomposes into oxygen and water without generating carbon-based emissions. DCL’s HTP catalyst supports this transition by enabling efficient, reliable, and scalable decomposition. The catalyst is part of a broader effort to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and support sustainable industrial processes.
