A novel non-toxic IR tracer composition is provided herein which, when incorporated into an IR tracer projectile which is then fired, generates a dim visibility IR trace. Such IR tracer composition is a non-toxic, metallic-boron- containing, IR tracer composition comprising: from about 20 to about 30 % by weight, or from about 45 to about 60 % by weight, of at least one of potassium chlorate or sodium nitrate; from about 5 to about 16 % by weight of a metallic fuel which consists of metallic boron; optionally, from about 15 to about 25 % by weight, or from about 40 to about 50 % by weight, of a non-metallic fuel which consists of sodium salicylate; from about 5 to about 20 % by weight of a retardant which consists either of iron carbonate, or magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate; from about 5 to about 15 % by weight of a first binder which consists of calcium resinate; and up to about 7.5 % by weight of a second synthetic resin binder which consists either of a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride or cellulose acetate butyrate, wherein the total percentage of such ingredients add up to 100 %. A novel IR tracer projectile containing such IR tracer composition for generating a dim visibility IR trace is also provided.
L'invention concerne une composition traçante IR non toxique qui, lorsqu'elle est incorporée dans un projectile traçant IR qui est ensuite mis à feu, génère une trace IR faiblement visible. Cette composition traçante IR est une composition traçante IR non toxique contenant du bore métallique ou environ 45 à environ 60 % en poids d'au moins un chlorate de potassium ou de nitrate de sodium ; environ 5 à environ 16 % en poids d'un combustible métallique se compose de bore métallique ; éventuellement, environ 15 à environ 25 % en poids ou environ 40 à environ 50 % en poids d'un combustible non métallique qui se compose de salicylate de sodium ; environ 5 à environ 20 % en poids d'un retardateur qui se compose de carbonate de fer ou carbonate de magnésium ou carbonate de calcium ; environ 5 à environ 15 % en poids d'un premier liant qui se compose de résinate de calcium ; et jusqu'à 7,5 % en poids d'un second liant de résine synthétique qui se compose d'un copolymère d'hexafluoropropylène et de fluorure de vinylidène ou d'acétobutyrate de cellulose, le pourcentage total desdits ingrédients étant de 100 %. Un nouveau projectile traçant IR contenant ladite composition traçante IR pour générer une trace IR faiblement visible est également décrit.
