Physical and mechanical characteristics of coatings, subjected to accelerated ageing, of mixes of propellants with polymers

Abstract

A scheme for manufacturing lacquers from mixes of waste single‐base propellants with halogen‐containing polymers is proposed. Examines the physical and mechanical characteristics (decrease of mass of coating, hardness, adhesion, and impact strength) of created coatings subjected to accelerated ageing, by two methods. Compares and analyses results obtained in testing. Results show that coatings from mixes of propellants with polymers are more stable than conventional nitrocellulose lacquers.
