Abstract: Paint spray booth detackification compositions and methods. The compositions comprise a water dispersible polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin, a polymer formed by reaction of hexamethylene diamine and ethylene dichloride, and an amphoteric metal salt. These compositions are introduced into a paint spray booth water wash system so as to detackify oversprayed paint.

Abstract: A novel wind-tunnel simulator produces a flow of a gas over a spinning trr projectile to simulate the flame shape from the tracer projectile as though in actual flight. The wind-tunnel simulator comprises a fixture formed with an opening for receiving the tracer projectile therein spaced from the surface that defines the opening. The fixture is fixed to a motor which is coupled to the projectile for spinning it as though in actual flight. Gas is forced through passageways, formed in the fixture, that communicate with the opening, whereby the gas can flow over the spinning, burning, tracer projectile to simulate in-flight conditions.

Abstract: A projectile having a conical wall interconnecting a rearwardly opening ptechnic cavity and the base of the projectile that is located substantially at the rearward peripheral or sidewall surface of the projectile. The discharging gases from the relatively small pyrotechnic will exit along the conical wall of the launched spinning projectile and minimize the base drag effect of the environmental air stream during projectile flight.

Abstract: A blue-burning pyrotechnic tracer mix which provides a smoke trail even ar the blue flame is no longer visible to thus extend the visible range of the projectile in which the mixture is employed, the pyrotechnic mixture comprising by weight percent: 6-10% potassium perchlorate, 11-18% magnesium, 10-20% cupric chloride anhydrous, 35-45% barium nitrate, 12-18% hexachlorobenzene, 5-10% sulfur.
