In order to develop a high performance colored smoke compositions, an evaluation method with
several kinds of test due to the required specification in each phase was carried out. Thirteen kinds of
test samples were tentatively manufactured and selected four samples were examined as to thermal
andysis, impact and friction sensitivity test, combustion test, falling impact test and moistures stability test.
As a result, red smoke sample which consisted of potassium chlorate / carbohydrate / red dyes with a
diameter of 4 mm and a length of 7 mm showed the highest performance and visibility and it was
considered as the most suitatable for the practical smoke.
高視線性発煙薬の開発を目的とし, 複数試験による段階的評価手法により, 発火燃焼特性および安全性に関する各種試験を実施した｡ 試製した13種類の中から4種類の発煙薬を選択し, 熱分析, 機械的エネルギー感度, 燃焼試験, 落下衝撃試験および吸湿による不活性化試験を実施して実験的評価を行った｡ その結果, 直径4mm, 薬長7mmに造粒した, 塩素酸カリウム / 炭水化物 / 赤色染料系の赤色試料(R-2)は, 安全性, 燃焼性能, 視認性, 吸湿耐久性のいずれの面においても要求性能を満足し, 実用に最適であることが明らかとなった。
