Evaluation of a High-Energy Binder

Abstract

Toxic propellant fuels were compatible with the PBEP-TVOPA binder. Samples of propellants containing these ingredients stored at ambient temperatures for 1 year showed no apparent deterioration. The polyfunctional isocyanates (especially CTI) which were tested did not produce cured propellants with physical properties as good as those obtained with DMMDI and hexanetriol. The preferred cure systems for HAP propellants appeared to be the aliphatic triisocyanate, CTI, in conjunction with an aliphatic diisocyanate such as H12MDI or HMDI.
