A1 soap in which about 50% of the org adds are derived from coconut oil, 25% from naphthenic acids and 25% from oleic acid. When stirred into gasoline at a temp range from 16—29°, M1 swells until the entire vol of gasoline becomes a more or less homogeneous gel M2 Thickener. A standard (for US Air Force) incendiary oil thickener. It is an intimate mixt of 95%Ml Thickener and 5% devolatilized silica... [Pg.19]

The US Air Force has studied the encapsulation of liq monoproplnts such as alkyl nitrates in polymer films to form small spheres much like ball powder for use as gun proplnts (Refs 6, 8 9). Suspension coating techniques were used, and microcapsules were made with gelatin,... [Pg.142]

The US Air Force formulation designated as AFX 644 (based on TNT and NTO and also referred to as TNTO IV) is used for low-vulnerability General Purpose (GP) bomb. AFX-644 is a melt-cast, wax desensitized nitrotriazolone (NTO)-based explosive formulation which employs TNT as an energetic binder and aluminum powder to enhance blast performance. TNT, NTO, wax and A1 powder are mixed in proportions of 30,40,10 and 20% respectively and meets the United Nations ... [Pg.125]

Nitrated cyclodextrin polymers [Poly(CDN)] MACH I Inc. USA has completed a small Business Innovation Research Programme of the US Air Force to evaluate nitrated cyclodextrin polymers, [(Poly(CDN)] as possible components of insensitive and minimum smoke producing propellants [98, 99].
