ABSTRACT:
The composition of this invention is a colored-smoke pyrotechnic for use as rocket fuel which can propel a 500 gram grenade assembly along a trajectory of about 100 meters while producing a trail of intensely colored, highly visible smoke. The composition contains ammonium sulfamate, potassium chlorate, sucrose, and an organic dye. The sulfamate ingredient functions as a primary reactant, and forms a large quantity of smoke and other gaseous by-products. The potassium chlorate and sucrose exists as a mixture, and when burning produces a large amount of energy which initiates the reaction sequence. The organic dye in the composition is volatilized by the heat, and subsequently condenses in the exhaust plume to color the smoke trail.
