TATB PBX formulations. Progress report, October--December 1975. [Recycling of RX-03-BB machine cuttings]
Preliminary process development to establish a procedure for recycling RX-03-BB from machine cuttings was begun. An acetone precipitation process followed by pelletizing with TF Freon in the 30-liter reactor appears to yield a PBX with acceptable physical properties. Process development work on a large scale in the 300-gallon kettle was continued. LLL B8 was made in a single large 340 kg batch and subsequently reworked to improve tensile properties. LLL B9 was made in 5 subbatches and blended into a 490 kg lot. It is being evaluated for physical properties. A 45.4 batch containing 5 percent Kel-F 800, RX-03-AU, which is similar to LASL's X-0290 formulation has been tested.
