Abstract:The thermal safety, friction sensitivity and impact sensitivity of the pyrotechnics with modified and unmodified potassium chlorate(KClO3) were tested and compared. Results show that compared with unmodified KClO3, initial exothermic temperature of pyrotechnics with modified KClO3 increases by 36.08 ℃,and the time to maximum rate prolongs more than 6 times, and its maximal pressure produced by unit mass, adiabatic temperature, friction sensitivity, impact sensitivity decreases by 0.63 MPa·g-1, 95.99 ℃, 64% and 72% respectively.
