MODUK DEF STAN 68-70 PDF

This Standard specifies requirements for ethyl oleate, type QX for use in the manufacture of plastic propellant and certain pyrotechnic compositions.

The designation 'Type QX' indicates that the material is suitable for certain applications where a high degree of compatibility with explosives is a requirement. However, compatibility with all explosives in all environments has not been established and Design Authorities should seek advice on particular applications from the Head of Energetic Materials and Terminal Effects Department, Defence Research Agency, Fort Halstead, Sevenoaks, Kent TN14 7BP.

Attention is drawn to Defence Standard 13-102, Testing of Materials Which are Required to be Compatible with Explosives.
