Abstract

The thermal decomposition performance and compatibility of 4, 10-dinitro-2, 6, 8, 12-tatraoxa-4, 10-diazatatracyclo [5, 5, 0, 05, 9, 03, 11]-decane (TEX) with main components of propellants such as cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine(RDX), N-nitrodihydroxyethylaminedinitrate(DINA), nitrocellulose (NC), absorbentia(NC+NG), diethylphthalate(DEP), leadphthalate(Φ-Pb) and aluminium powder(micron order) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The results show that TEX is relatively stable to heat, the binary system of TEX was compatible with RDX, Φ-Pb, NC, DINA and aluminium powder, and was slightly sensitive with absorbentia(NC+NG) and NC. Thus TEX can be used as component in propellants.
