Abstract
Abstract A combustion inhibitor for a double base propellant is described which comprises a polyurethane elastomer having in chemically combined form a compound which is an aliphatic polyester polyol or an aliphatic polyether polyol, or a mixture thereof, which compound contains 2-6 hydroxyl groups per molecule, and an aliphatic polyisocyanate. The inhibitor also contains 0.1-10 parts by weight of mineral fibers or thermostable organic fibers of length between 0.1 mm and 15 mm per 100 parts inhibitor. The inhibitor may contain an organic gasifiable charge and an aliphatic plasticizer.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A gasifiable inhibitor for a double base propellant which comprises a polyurethane elastomer having in chemically combined form a product which is an aliphatic polyester polyol or an aliphatic polyether polyol, or a mixture thereof which product contains 2-6 hydroxyl groups per molecule, an aliphatic polyisocyanate, at least one organic gasifiable charge and an aliphatic plasticizer, and 0.1-10 parts by weight of mineral fibers or thermostable organic fibers of length between 0.1 mm and 15 mm per 100 parts inhibitor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A gasifiable inhibitor for a double base propellant which comprises a polyurethane elastomer having in chemically combined form a product which is an aliphatic polyester polyol or an aliphatic polyether polyol, or a mixture thereof which product contains 2-6 hydroxyl groups per molecule, an aliphatic polyisocyanate, at least one organic gasifiable charge and an aliphatic plasticizer, and 0.1-10 parts by weight of mineral fibers or thermostable organic fibers of length between 0.1 mm and 15 mm per 100 parts inhibitor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
