Abstract

A slurry casting process is described capable of produ­ cing crosslinked double base propellant having improved burn­ ing rates and high specific impulse. Such propellants can be formulated to be smokeless. Improved burning rates are achieved by incorporating into a slurry of double base compo­ sition, casting powder granules containing 20% to 75% by weight of small particle ammonium perchlorate. The casting powder granules substantially retain their identity in the cured propellant matrix. The casting powder granules have a high burning rate and are uniformly distributed throughout the propellant. The granules are responsible for increasing the burning rate of the entire crosslinked double base propellant composition of the invention.
