Abstract: Energetic compounds based on bismuth salts with reduced toxicity that are obtained through the reaction of soluble bismuth salts with soluble salts of organic or inorganic energetic compounds based on azides, derivatives aromatic nitro compounds or nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds, together with the methods for their preparation and application.
Abstract: Inorganic fuel selected from the group of sulphocyanides of noble metals as specially copper, as well as the derivatives of urea and semicarbazide and theirs derivatives and organic fuel selected from the group of thiols with sulphur bound in the —SH group or in the heterocyclic rings and the metal salts of these compounds, mostly cuprous or cupric, which are suitable for the infrared tracer compositions used in bullets. With a suitable oxidant, which is zinc peroxide, the fuel forms binary mixtures that, during combustion, emit radiation in the near-infrared region that is invisible to the naked eye. On the basis of this invention tracer compositions do not require any additional auxiliary pyrotechnic systems. They are intended for use in infrared tracers of conventional calibres of bullet ammunition.

Abstract: A non-toxic and non-corrosive ignition mixture is created by combining the energy system and the pyrotechnic system. The energy system comprises a high explosive from the groups of nitroesters and nitramines and a senzibiliser of the type of tetrazene or derivatives of tetrazoles for its activation. The pyrotechnic system comprises an oxidizing agent from the group of oxides and peroxides of metals, from the group of salts of inorganic oxygen-containing acids, and a fuel which is amorphous boron. The mixture is supplemented with a friction agent which is preferably ground glass. Nitrocellulose, polyvinyl alcohol and acacia gum are used as bonding agents. Mixtures are utilizable in the field of ammunition production for the production of primers, especially for central ignition cartridges.
