ABSTRACT: The use of chlorine-free high performance oxidizers in solid rocket propellants may reduce launch costs, while producing less polluting exhaust products. Hydrazinium nitroformate (HNF) is a candidate for such a next generation oxidizer. In this article the properties of HNF are addressed. Its combustion and decomposition characteristics, and its application in rocket propellants are discussed.
Keywords: oxidizer, hydrazinium nitroformate, HNF, monopropellant, composite propellant, decomposition
