THERMAL STABILITY AND AGING STUDIES ON SELECTED NF COMPOUNDS.

Abstract

The stability of P-BEP and its compatibility with HAP, HP-2, AP and curing agents have been studied. P-BEP slowly evolves HF, HCN, and HNF2 at or near 25 C. Although the quantities of these gases evolved are small, they are sufficient to have an adverse effect on curing reactions, and will likely create problems in long-term storage. Both HAP and HP-2 promote decomposition and oxidative degradation of P-BEP. HP-2 appears to be too reactive to be formulated into a propellant which utilizes a P-BEP binder. The prospects of obtaining a storable propellant from the HAP-P-BEP system appears to be marginal. Of the oxidizers studied, only AP seems to be compatible with P-BEP. (Author)
