The inclusion of small quantities of ballistic modifiers - various lead compounds in double base propellants - results in increased burning rate at low pressure. Furthermore, the lead salts render the burning rate of the propellants independent of pressure (over a certain pressure range) and ignition temperature. A high burning rate/pressure relationship is desirable because it permits the design of lighter rocket motors due to lower safety factors.
IPI offers a wide range of Lead / Copper Compounds. These new compounds are hereby listed in a descending order of their affect on the burning rate:
 LC-12-0- LC-12-5
- LC-12-6
- LC-12-7
- LC-12-10
- LC-12-15
- LC-12-20
In addition, IPI alsol supplies conventional-type ballistic modifiers:
- Lead Salicylate
- Lead 2-Ethyl Heoxate
- Lead Beta Resorcylate
- Copper Beta Resorcylate, Monobasic Copper Salicylate
