ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to low-vulnerability propellent powders for weapons. The powders according to the invention consist of at least one organic nitro compound and an organic binder and are characterized in that they contain at least one additive chosen from the group consisting of lithium fluoride, ammonium fluoride and lithium nitrate, optionally in the presence of acetylene black. The powders according to the invention exhibit good ignition characteristics while retaining low vulnerability to impacts and to thermal shocks.
