Metal-Fluorocarbon Reactions to Trigger Soot Formation

1 Metal-Fluorocarbon Reactions to Trigger Soot Formation 

With decreasing magnesium content, the burn rate decreases nearly linearly from 5.25 to 1.95 mms.  

Cudzik) investigated the combustion behaviour and obscuration performance of a number of Mg/PTFE-based obscurant compositions [21]. Table 11.3 lists the tested compositions. Table 11.4 lists both mass extinction coefficients and chemical equilibrium compositions of the major products. 

20wt% Magnesium 27wt% Polyvinylidene fluoride 48 wt% Anthraquinone 5 wt% Chlorinated paraflin 

From mass spectroscopy, it is known that anthraquinone on thermal load undergoes de-carbonylation yielding highly reactive benzene, C6H4 [23]. This reactive highly
