Toxicological and Recalcitrant Properties of a Proposed Propellant Ingredient, Triaminoguanidine Nitrate (TAGN). II. Analysis of the Deflagration By-Products of a TAGN-Based Propellant.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to examine the gaseous by-products generated from the deflagration of an experimental triaminoguanidine nitrate (TAGN)-based gun propellant and to compare these gases with those produced from standard propellants containing no TAGN. Propellants which contain TAGN are being formulated for possible future use in weapon systems employing high density, armor-piercing penetrators. The results from this study showed that TAGN-based propellants produced the same gaseous by-products as did four standard nitrocellulose (NC)-based propellants. However, quantitative variations were observed between the two groups.
