Physical and physicochemical properties of hexaamminechromium III perchlorate (ACP) were investigated to determine its potentiality for HE and/or HE component application. Physicochemical properties obtained through investigation of isothermally aged ACP under conditions of various system and boundary restrictions (open and closed; 50 and 80 C; 0.65 and 0.85 g/cc) show the material to be substantially stable under these simulated isothermal storage conditions from a standpoint of infrared and DTA thermal pattern behavior and chemical analysis of aged residues. Spark sensitivity was 0.25 joules at 5 kv (by LASL type test) and impact sensitivity was about 23 and 14 cm on sandpaper (12A) and steel (12B), respectively.
