DDI Isocyanate Curative
RCS DDI isocyanate (Dimeryl Diisocyanate) is probably the best curative ever available for HTPB. It can be cured at elevated temperature (we recommend 120 to 140 deg. F) or at room temperature with a small amount (1 drop or less per 6kg propellant) of dibutyltin dilaurate or other urethane catalyst, It provides low toxicity, outstanding pot life and...

Low Molecular Weight Hydroxyl-terminated Polybutadiene Resin 1/2 Gallon
RCS low molecular weight Hydroxyl-terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) resin has an unusually low viscosity as a result of a molecular weight of only 1,300. Its corresponding low equivalent weight naturally allows the use of a higher percentage of isocyanate, which results in a substantially reduced premix viscosity. In addition, lower plasticizer percentages...

Modified MDI Isocyanate Curative 1/2 Gallon
RCS modified MDI isocyanate is an excellent room temperature curative for HTPB. It provides plenty of pot life and good physical properties. If you've been using PAPI or Isonate 143-L you'll be amazed at the difference! Use at the 12.9% concentration level with HTPB with an OH value of .80 (hydroxyl equivalent weight of 1250) and with a 1:1 NCO :OH...

Isodecyl Pelargonate Plasticizer 1/2 Gallon
In our opinion, Isodecyl Pelargonate (IDP) is the best plasticizer for HTPB-based binders. Its low density, low viscosity, low vapor pressure and cure retardant properties will give you a noticeable improvement over DOA, DBP or whatever else you've been using. 10-35% of the total binder percentage is the usual concentration. 1/2 gallon bottle. Click...

Hydroxyl-terminated Polybutadiene Resin 1/2 Gallon
RCS Hydroxyl-terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) resin has a functionality of 2.4 - 2.6, which results in a higher crosslink density than lower functionality HTPB with the better room temperature curatives (like our modified MDI isocyanate), without resorting to other ingredients that can adversely affect the cure chemistry. It also allows you to use higher...
