Water-aminated TATB was formulated into LX-17 at both Pantex and Holston. Mechanical properties, growth, pressed density, corner turning and gap sensitivity properties were compared. Mechanical properties, corner turning and gap sensitivity were similar to those of LX-17 made from dry-aminated TATB. Permanent expansion resulting from thermal aging may be slightly greater than that of LX-17 with dry-aminated TATB.
