Abstract

Isocyanate compounds serve as a curing agent in the production of composite propellants, playing a crucial role in determining their characteristics. Due to its high reactivity with moisture, it is essential to determine the isocyanate number of stored samples after a specific duration. The investigation identified the isocyanate number of IPDI and TDI that had been held for 84 and 90 months. The FTIR analysis identified the presence of the NCO group at 2240 cm-1 for TDI and 2243 cm-1 for IPDI samples held for 84 and 90 months. The isocyanate number identification decreased by 1-2% after being stored for six months. This reduction in isocyanate quantity undoubtedly impacts the development of propellant compositions. The reduction in isocyanate content will alter the propellant formulation, leading to propellants with different characteristics due to its impact on the curing ratio (NCO/OH). The curing ratio greatly impacts the mechanical properties of composite propellant.

Abstract

AP is the solid particles with the largest composition in compossite propellant, with fractions 60-80%. Rounded particles of AP indirectly gives better performance of propellant. Therefore we need experiment the crystallization process to produce rounded AP crystal. In this experiment, crystallization was conducted by using a controlled cooling system. Cooling is done through two stages and using a different coolant. The first stage of slow cooling using water (30°C), and continued rapid cooling with ethylene glycol (-27°C). These experiment generate 45.45 kg AP with a purity 99.67%, 40 mesh crystal size, crystal shape close to round, yield 39.71%.
