Abstract
THPP(Titanium Hydride Potassium Perchlorate) is an igniter composed of potassium perchlorate as oxidizing agent and titanium hydride as fuel with a Viton binder. THPP is commonly found in the aerospace, defence and automotive industries. This research is investigeted for the manufacturing process and characteristics analysis of the THPP such as the performance and shape/calorimetry/pressure characteristics of the THPP on PMD(Pyrotechnic Mechanical Device). Also, THPP composite ratio is designed by CEA program.
