BALLISTITE FUEL Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: rocket fuels. SUBSTANCE: nitrocellulose-based rocket fuel is composed of, wt. %: plasticizer, 30.0-37.0; chemical stabilizer enhancer (diphenylamine and centralite), 1.2-3.0; combustion activator (carbon black or its mixture with powdered polyformaldehyde), 0.03-12.0; combustion stabilizer (titanium dioxide or calcium carbonate), 0.3-3.5; combustion modifier (II and/or III-group metal oxides or their combination with lead carbonate or lead-copper modifier based on complex compound of lead and copper with phthalic acid), process additives, 0.2-1.0; and nitrocellulose, the balance. Achieved fuel combustion rate level and little dependence thereof on pressure and temperature ensure stable functioning of mobile installations within 2 to 25 MPa pressure range accompanied by high grouping of shot. EFFECT: improved performance characteristics. 3 cl, 1 tbl, 11 ex
