PREPARATIVE PHASE OF THE AGENT CS SLURRY INVESTIGATION

Abstract

The paper covers the preparative phase of the investigation into the dispersion of agent CS in slurries with characteristics useful in dissemination devices. Included are the results of the brief consideration given to the following items: (1) choice of carrier liquid; (2) surfactant hydrophile and lipophile balance; (3) surfactant concentration; (4) agent concentration; (5) the use of a protective colloid; and (6) the dissemination of slurries. The conclusion is reached that it is possible to prepare useful slurries containing high concentrations of agent CS and that these slurries possibly offer dissemination advantages. It is also conjectured that it should be possible by a similar investigation to develop a technique for the preparation of slurries of most other solid agents.
