Advanced Technology for Pyrotechnic Mixtures and Munitions
Abstract
Studies were made of the raw materials and processing techniques associated with the M18 colored smoke grenades (red, violet, green, and yellow). The findings were that (a) fine particle size dyes can be processed into large particles to reduce dusting during grenade manufacture; (b) coarse particle size dyes and chemicals can be used to manufacture M18 colored smoke grenades; and (c) the percentage of dye used in the M18 grenade can be reduced without affecting the color.
