Flash reducing agents

Melamine has been used as a flash reducing agent in propints (Ref 10). It is nonhygr, of low volaty, highly resistant to hydrolysis up to 60°, and is practically neutral in aq solns (pH 7.7). Tests conducted at PicArsn indicated satisfactory impact sensitivity (40 inches with 2kg wt), and no sand crushed in the Sand Test bomb... [Pg.73]

It is also possible to reduce the nitrocompounds to amines which can be used as flash reducing agents in propints... [Pg.187]

In propellants (see Propellants, Solid in this Vol), some of the work reported by Dunkle (Ref 6) examined the addn of flash reducing agents versus smoke evolved in propint compns for the cal. 50 rifle. The oxides examined included aluminum oxide, stannic oxide, silicon dioxide, ferric oxide and, after proplnt ignition, nickel... [Pg.444]

The same phenomenon is observed on firing cannon and the flame which is produced on contact with the air is sometimes called afterglow. The "afterglow , which is undesirable because it. might indicate ro the enemy the position of artillery, may be partly or nearly completely suppressed by the addition of a few percent of alkali salt (or other flash teducing compound) to the propellant (See Flash Reducing Agents)...

It was proposed by Saigger (Ref 4) as a flash-reducing agent hy placing it in pro-pellant charges at the base of projectiles This compd resembles some of the red-colored substances described by Jackson et al in Ref 2... [Pg.284]

Triacetin has been used as a solvent for acetocellulose and as a plasticizer in the pyroxylin industry (Ref 5). It was patented by Hale Cameron (Ref 3) as a flash reducing agent in NC propellants. According to Ref 4, triacetin acts as a gelatinizing and waterproofing agent. It has been used successfully as plasticizer and coolant in single-base propellants and in cast doublebase propellants (see Note)... [Pg.32]

Note No higher nitrated aminocarbazoles were found in Beil or CA through 1956. It is suggested that these compds may have some value in expl compos or fuse powders as flash reducing agents or burning rate modifiers... [Pg.193]

This compd is an acid and forms salts with bases. It is a combustible material which flashes when dropped on a hot plate. Due to its high nitrogen content and its compatibility with NC, the compd has been proposed for evaluation as a flash reducing agent in propellent powders(Ref 2)... [Pg.159]

It is used in smokeless proplnts as a plasticizer, and as stabilizer flash reducing agent. It has been used also in some dynamites (as desensitizer), BlkPdrs (as binder), and in some pyrotechnic compns. Camphor is now used in the following US plastic compns (Celluloids or Pyroxylin Types) a)Composition A, prepd by mixing NC(ca 11%... [Pg.415]

Ordnance practices, the term combustible cartridge case is referred to cases fabricated from fibrous NC and a binder. Such cases produce no residue when fired in a conventional artillery weapon system. The term consumable cartridge case has been reserved for cases prepd from combustible materials other than NC, such as woodpulp or paper impregnated with a phenolformaldehyde resin In each type of case, fungicides, flash reducing agents and gun erosion inhibitors can be incorporated... [Pg.204]
