ResumoAbstract Perchlorate‐free hand‐held signal illuminant formulations for the M126A1 red star parachute have been developed. The formulations exhibited longer burn times and higher luminous intensities compared to the US Army in‐service M126A1 formulation. The perchlorate‐free formulations derive their enhanced performance from the inclusion of strontium bis ‐(1‐methyl‐5‐nitriminotetrazolate) monohydrate, the choice of magnesium used, and replacing a polyester binder system with an epoxy binder system.
