Antistatic Coatings for the Plastic Nose Cones of Artillery Fuzes.

Abstract

Two antistatic coating formulations have been developed at the Harry Diamond Laboratories for the plastic nose cones of artillery fuzes. Both are conductive carbon-filled epoxy compounds. Formulation HDL900-3, developed in 1971, uses 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole (EMI-24) as the curing agent. Formulation HDL900-6, developed as an alternative, uses m-phenylenediamine as the curing agent. Thermal stability, resistivity, and durability are the main criteria used to evaluate the formulations. The EMI-24 is of industrial grade. Its method of analysis and spectral data are recorded.
