Abstract
New propellant compositions characterized by the addition of certain simple salts and double salts, both metallic and non-metallic, having the B.sub.10 H.sub.10.sup.-2 anion in common, are taught herein to function as a class of burn rate catalysts, and not as fuels, when combined with a category of propellants known as nitrocellulose base propellants. Additionally, unique forms of the simple salts, created by coprecipitation of the simple salt with an oxidizer, constitute a third class of burn rate enhancers herein.
