Development of AFX-511 and AFX-521, two new thermally stable explosives
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6873554
AFX-511, a formulation containing 95 wt % 2,4,6-tris-(picrylamino)-8-triazine (TPM) and 5 wt % Kel-F 800, was developed and evaluated as an inexpensive, thermally stable, main-charge explosive. The observed insensitivity of AFX-511 to shock suggests that it also may be useful in some insensitive high explosive (IHE) applications. AFX-521, which contains 95 wt % 2,6-bis(picrylamino)-3,5-dinitropyridine (PYX) and 5 wt % Kel-F 800, proved to be an excellent, thermally stable, booster explosive.
