Oxalate Ester Chemiluminescence, Improved Low Temperature Formulations.
Abstract
The objective of the program was to develop and test new chemiluminescent formulations which were usable at lower temperatures than the systems currently in use. The visibility requirements included a minimum visual range of 10 meters for 30 minutes at -25 degrees F or lower. The oxalate ester-hydrogen peroxide chemiluminescent system was used. A series of new formulations were developed which offer reduced temperature sensitivity in a variety of colors. The formulations were tested at Ft. Greely, Alaska, where the program objectives were met and exceeded.
