Abstract

Magnesium/sodium nitrate illuminating compositions with epoxy resin - E 605 have been
studied for luminosity and luminous efficiency by varying fuel oxidizer ratio and binder content.
The compositions have been evaluated for impact and friction sensitivities, burn rate, thermal
characteristics, and mechanical properties. Flame temperature and combustion products are
evaluated theoretically by using REAL program. Experimental results show that, luminosity,
burn rate, and calorimetric value are higher for polyester resin-based compositions. The high
luminous efficiency composition is achieved with magnesium/sodium nitrate ratio of 70/30 with
4 per cent epoxy resin.
