In evaluating the energetics of oxidizers, it is apparent that the perchlorate salts are more desirable than nitrate salts. Therefore one would expect that attempts would be made to incorporate the perchlorate group into binder structures. The study of perchlorate esters was not pursued when it was found that simple model compounds obtained from alcohols and perchloric acid were excessively shock sensitive. However, when the C104 group existed in ionic or salt-like form, these materials were found to be far less sensitive. Bell Aerosystems Corp., in conjunction with the Food Machinery Corp. prepared the polyethylene hydrazine perchlorates.

Another new and interesting polymer family, the Oxirons, are under development by Food Machinery and Chemical Corp. (13), These, too, are struoto-pendant prepolymers prepared from butadiene to which the epoxy functional group is introduced. Functionality may be of the epoxy or unsatiuration type. A typical prepolymer might be a material of a molecular weight of 1500. These systems are cross-linked with anhydrides, amines, and peroxides.

The initial plan was to contract with private industry for a 10-ton per day production plant. A later decision put the plant at the inactivated Dana Heavy Water Plant of the Atomic Energy Commission at Newport, Indiana, within the Wabash River Ordnance Works. A patent dispute that resulted in a restraining order by the Chief Justice of the United States and problems with contractors visiting the new site delayed construction. Finally in 1959, Food Machinery and Chemical Company, the low bidder, got the contract and construction was planned for 1960. Shortly after the approval, the Chemical Corps supplemented the contract to provide for a VX weapon-filling plant.129130...

Epoxidized polybutadiene commercialization was begun in 1960 by Food Machinery and Chemical Corp., which produced three types of modified resins Oxiron 2000, 2001, and 2002 this was the only manufacturer until 1964, when production ceased.
