Improved Smoke Screen Generators.

Abstract

An alkali halide smoke, capable of deliquescing into a dense fog at relative humidities between 10% and 84%, carries with it material for attenuating the far infrared spectrum. A rocket fuel or an energetic binder for the formulation enhances the pyrotechnic characteristics, thereof, making the smoke producing formulation suitable as a nonexplosive pyrotechnic, propellant or explosive, thereby rendering the formulation a suitable smoke pot, rocket propellant or munitions charge having obscurant properties.
