Definition statement

This place covers:

Generation of smoke or mist, e.g.

  • classic smokes are based on highly hygroscopic salts being acids and forming a water droplet fog with air humidity
  • Demisting compositions.
  • Weather modifying compositions such as making rain.
  • with expanded graphite particles
  • by combustion of pyrotechnic compositions comprising a chlorine donor (e.g. potassium chloride, sodium chloride, chlorinated rubber, condensed halogenated carbon compound) that will generate upon combustion abundants amounts of sublimable metal chlorides wich produce smoke
  • by combustion of pyrothechnic composition with sublimation/vaporization of an organic dye
  • by combustion of pyrotechnic composition comprising zinc oxide, ammonium cloride and polyvinyl chloride
  • by combustion of pyrotechnic smoke generating composition comprising red phosphorous
  • by incomplete combustion of aromatic compounds

Generation of pressure gas, e.g. for blasting cartridges, starting cartridges, rockets (explosive compositions containing an oxidizer, fuels for rocket engines intended for reaction with an oxidant other than air C06B)
Definition statement

This place covers:

Generation of pressure gas

Relationships with other classification places

Explosive compositions containing an oxidizer, fuels for rocket engines intended for reaction with an oxidant other than air are classified in C06B.

The compositions in C06B are mainly classified according to their chemical composition. In C06B 47/00 monopropellants and bipropellants are classified according to their composition.

In C06D 5/08 and C06D 5/10, the compositions are classified according to their physical presence in the system like being a liquid or a solid and the compositions classified in those groups have to be suitable to produce a pressure gas.

by auto-decomposition of single substances
Definition statement

This place covers:

Catalysts for the auto-decomposition
