U.S. Pat. No. 4,421,578 by Voreck, Jr., discloses an explosive mixture containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, nitroguanidine and ethylenediamine dinitrate. This composition was developed for explosive applications with an intent to replace TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene). The eutectic formed when ammonium nitrate, ethylene diamine dinitrate and guanidine nitrate are mixed in the disclosed proportion has a melting temperature below 100° C. Propellant mixtures with such a low melting point are not suitable for applications such as automobile airbag inflators where temperature stability in excess of 107° C. is frequently required.
