ABSTRACT:
Bis(trinitroethyl)nitroamine, O.sub.2 N.N[ CH.sub.2 .C(NO.sub.2).sub.3 ]..2, (BTNEN), is used as an oxidizer in smokeless propellants. BTNEN can be used as a replacement for cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX) or cyclotetramethylene trinitramine, (RDX) in smokeless propellant compositions. Ready ignitability is ensured when BTNEN is used in hybrid grains. A higher performance results when BTNEN is substituted for HMX or RDX in a propellant formulation. The propellant composition employing BTNEN as oxidizer has lower tendency to afterburning since it is a more effective oxidizer and as a result thereof, there are few combustibles in the exhaust products.
