Rocket Propellant Additives
- A bonding agent is a substance used to improve the mechanical properties of a composites by increasing the adhesion between polyurethane propellant particle matrix, which is effective with Ammonium Perchlorate in butadiene binders.
Polycene (Burning Rate Accelerator)
- Polycene is burning rate catalyst which leads to a higher burning rate with low pressure exponent without migration, vaporization and oxidation during missile manufacturing and aging. Polycene unlike ferrocene derivatives doesn't have potential risk of the dangers. Also, Polycene allows it to be fully miscible with standard HTPB (Hydroxy Terminated Polybutadiene).
