Abstract |
DXD-19 is a flexible sheet explosive, which is a new polymer-bonded explosives(PBX's). DXD-19 is relatively insensitive and can be extruded into various configurations to be applied to munitions. A typical application includes multi-point initiation for the warhead, cutting/severance devices and transfer lines. The DXD-19 composition employs a binder system derived from the thermoplastic elastomer(HyTemp 4454) containing $5\%$ OH terminated with isocyanate curable for increasing mechanical properties. The use of an elastomer CAB increases its mechanical properties and the use of an energetic plasticizer BDNPF/BDNPA(F/A) improves the process ability as well as energy contents. The composition of the extruded DXD-19 formulation is formed $\%$ weight of $PETN/HyTemp/ATEC/(F/A)/CAB=72~73/12~13/6~7/6~7/1~2$. Our safety tests of DXD-19 shows Insensitivity to an impact test and friction test, good thermal stability and excellent mechanical properties. |
