Definitions

  • the present invention is an igniter for propellants and their use.
  • Cartridge-filled cartridges are mainly used in the civil sector, especially in bolt guns or cattle stunning. They can be made of metal or plastic.
  • the propellant charge powder is ignited by a mechanically or electrically initiated reaction of an ignition charge consisting of at least one primary explosive. This ensures a safe ignition in general.
  • An object of the present invention was therefore to provide a firing for propellant powder, which does not have these disadvantages.
  • the igniter composition according to the invention is a primary explosive-free igniter for propellants, which contains at least one oxidant, at least one reducing agent and at least one binder.
  • the igniter according to the invention generates when burning particles that ignite the propellant charge powder.
  • the present invention makes it possible for the first time to safely ignite propellant charge powder without the use of primary explosives.
  • the igniter composition according to the invention is used for the reliable ignition of propellant charge powder, which is located in cartridges which are used, for example, in bolt guns.
  • a propellant charge powder for example, can be used from nitrocellulose. However, it may also consist of components which are for example used in propellants for providing low-CO reaction steam (for example, so-called. SINCO -Treibladungspulver ®). Reference is made in this connection to the EP 0 809 616 A1 , Such cartridges are for example in the DE 198 24 122 A1 described. They can be covered by a foil, for example made of aluminum.
  • the present invention offers the possibility of the inventive igniting agent, which consists of a film which is coated on at least one side with a mixture containing at least one inventively selected oxidizing agent, at least one inventively selected reducing agent and at least one inventively selected binder, according to Initiation to use as ignition for the propellant powder.
  • the film for example, an aluminum foil, coated on the inside of the cartridge with igniter, dried and applied to the filled with propellant charge cartridge, for example by gluing.
  • the aluminum can react with the applied components and it forms burning particles that ignite the propellant charge powder.
  • the invention therefore relates to films which generate particles when burned, which can ignite the propellant charge powder.
  • the igniting agents according to the invention consist of a film which is coated on one side with a mixture of the following components or mixtures of these components:
  • nitric acid esters components can be used, for example, urea derivatives such as Centralite or Akardite.
  • ferrocene and its derivatives or oxidizing agents which pass through different valence states can be used as burn-on moderators.
  • high-energy substances can be added to improve the burnup, the energy and the thermal stability of the applied paint.
  • surcharges are secondary explosives such. B. octogen, hexogen, etc.
  • fragrances are expedient.
  • the amount of the individual components depends essentially on the respective intended use.
  • the oxidizing agent may preferably be used in a range of 5 to 50% by weight, the reducing agent preferably in a range of 5 to 50% by weight, and the binder preferably in a range of 1 to 40% by weight. More preferably, the oxidizing agent is used in a range of 10 to 40% by weight, the reducing agent in a range of 10 to 40% by weight, and the binder in a range of 5 to 20% by weight.
  • stabilizers, burn-off moderators and other additives also depends on the intended use. The type and amount can be easily determined.
  • the preparation of the igniter according to the invention is carried out according to known methods, for example by mixing the components and applying by brushing or by the screen printing process.
  • the mixtures can be prepared as follows:
  • the binder defined according to the invention is dissolved in a per se known and suitable solvent, preferably methyl acetate, and the individual components are added with stirring.
  • a per se known and suitable solvent preferably methyl acetate
  • the amount of solvent depends on the laboratory method and the required viscosity.
  • component example 1 Example 2
  • Example 3 nitrocellulose 20% by weight 20% by weight cellulose acetate 20% by weight zircon 40% by weight 30% by weight titanium 40% by weight potassium nitrate 40% by weight 30% by weight zinc peroxide 50% by weight 10% by weight
