To obtain a solid propellant for generating the same degree of impelling force as that using ammonium perchlorate, not containing a component like ammonium perchlorate to cause pollution such as acidic rain, by mixing hydroxylammonium nitrate as an oxidizing agent component with a binder as a fuel component to constitute the propellant.
This propellant is constituted by mixing preferably 70-90 pts.wt. of hydroxylammonium with preferably 10-30 pts.wt. of a binder. Various kinds of hydrocarbon-based polymers or rubber-like materials can be used as the binder. For example, a polysulfide, a PVC, a polyurethane, a polyester, a terminal carboxyl group-containing polybutadiene, a glycidylazidated polymer may be cited as the binder. The propellant is further mixed with a metal such as Al. Mg, Be, B, Zr, etc. as a fuel component.
