DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6413935· OSTI ID:6413935
Six production lots of low-chlorine TATB powder have been evaluated. Five of the lots were made by a wet-amination process and the other was made by an emulsion-amination process. LX-17 physical properties specimens made from the five wet-aminated TATB lots were exceptionally strong and comparable to dry-aminated TATB, while the emulsion-aminated lot of TATB had lower strength.
