This paper presents the authors’ experience in the field of the safe preparation and utilisation of HTP (98%+), a storable propellant that is finding use in various engineering applications. Brief characterisations of the material as well as examples of its potential use within relevant industries are provided. Additionally, some of the existing data and current research are included to demonstrate the full potential of this material which meets most of the needs of the propulsion industry. The laboratory technique for obtaining the substance that has been developed recently at the Institute of Aviation is briefly described. Utilisation of the method based on a special glass apparatus allows reproducible amounts of the substance to be obtained with relatively little risk.
