Reactivities of Precision Cleaning Solvents with Hypergolic PropellantsThe reactivities of several selected halogenated precision cleaning solvents with hypergolic propellants has been determined by analysis of the rates of formation of halide ion decomposition products. The solvents were Asahiklin AK 225, Asahiklin AK 225 AES, HFE 7100, HFE 7100 DE, Vertrel XF, Vertrel MCA, Vertrel MCA Plus, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113), and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE). The propellants were hydrazine (HZ), monomethylhydrazine (MMH), and mixed oxides of nitrogen (MON-3). The Vertrel solvents showed significant reactivity with HZ. All of the solvents except DCE exhibited significant reactivity with MMH, particularly HFE 7100 DE and CFC-113. HFE 7100 DE, Vertrel MCA, and Vertrel MCA Plus also showed significant reactivity with MON-3 oxidizer.
