The eutectic mixture nitroplasticizer (NP) contains water, without exception, on the order of hundreds to thousands of parts per million depending on the exposure conditions. Therefore, to evaluate the properties of NP, one must consider that NP is not simply comprised of two constituents. Here we supplement previous work on the physical properties of NP (Edgar et al., 2020) by expanding on the experimental work therein and addressing inaccuracies detailed in a subsequent comment article (Brown, 2021). Specifically, the purpose of this work is to clarify and modify the phase diagram of the bis(2,2-dinitropropyl) acetal with bis(2,2-dinitropropyl) formal eutectic mixture by considering the effect of water concentrations on the nucleation process.
