Metallic oxides, burn-rate modifier

Basically, PVC plastisol propellants are systems of binder,.oxidizer, and metallic fuel (if used). Minor ingredients, normally comprising less than 2% of the total, consist of wetting agent, stabilizer, opacifier, and burning rate modifier. The composition of three typical PVC plastisol propellants is shown in Table I. [Pg.46]

Binders increase cohesion between the particles of fuel and oxidizer, facilitating better consolidation and resulting in better mechanical properties of the end products. In addition, an equally important function is to coat and protect metallic or non-metallic fuels (such as metal or non-metal powders) which may otherwise react with moisture and oxygen. They also modify the burning rate and hence the performance, and at the same time reduce sensitivity to impact or friction. A comprehensive list of binders, natural to synthetic resins used for pyrotechnic formulations follows. [Pg.334]

Basically, an illuminating formulation is a mixture of a metallic fuel and an oxidizer besides some additives in order to modify the burning rate and radiation output and to enhance safety in handling. The Mg-sodium nitrate binder system appears to be a universal choice for illuminating formulations. The main reaction of the Mg-sodium nitrate binary system is (Equation 5.1) ... [Pg.341]

Tracer formulation is basically a mixture of an oxidizer and a metal fuel together with other additives, included to modify the burning rate, color, radiant output, mechanical integrity and sensitivity. Since tracer formulations are relatively difficult to ignite, a more readily ignitable formulation is pressed on the top of the tracer formulation. [Pg.346]
