Abstract : Several combustible cartridge case (CCC) formulations containing nitrocellulose (NC) as an energetic ingredient with diphenylamine (DPA) as stabiliser, cellulose fiber as reinforcing material and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) as a binder are processed to form combustible discs. A formulation containing nitrocellulose (83 parts), cellulose (17 parts) , PVAc (20 parts) and diphenylamine (1 part) by weight was observed with the improvement of mechanical properties without any adverse effect on combustion characteristics, safety parameters and compatibility with triple base multi-tubular propellant. Dynamic firing performance was also satisfactory. |
