ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods for increasing the storage life of a propellant grain by reducing the rate of decomposition of its nitrate ester components. A nitrate ester stabilizer is placed in a layer adjacent to a nonburning surface of the propellant grain. The stabilizer migrates from the layer into the grain's nonburning surface to provide additional stabilization for the entire grain, especially portions of the grain adjacent to the protected nonburning surface.
