Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A solid propellant composition comprising a cured homogenous mixture of: A. a solid, particulate oxidizer component; B. a synthetic resinous, polyisocyanate cured, polybutadiene binder component; and C. a polytetramethyleneglycol pivalate ester plasticizer having the following structual formula: ##STR4## wherein n is an integer of from 6 to 12 and said plasticizer is present in a binder/plasticizer ratio ranging from about 75 to 95 parts by weight of binder to 5 to 25 parts by weight of plasticizer.
