✦ Synopsis
The thermal ignition of the propagatively burning system magnesium-sodium nitrate Lamimtc was studied with respect to the thermal parameters o[ ignition, propagative burning and the reaction mechanisms responsible ]or these phenomena. Differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry and determinations o/ the time to ignition as a [unction o[ temperature were employed. On a basis of these experimental data, a mechanism is postulated [or the ignition reactions o[ the ternary system in which the thermal degradation products of the ~tyrenated polyester binder, Laminac, play a decisive role. It is noteworthy that the sodium nitrate decomposes only as far as sodium nitrite when ignition takes place under differential thermal analysis conditions, i.e. at atmospheric pressure and under no confinement.
