Phenolic Resin / Hexamine Binding of Pyrotechnic Compositions TITLE James C. Widmann President Connecticut Pyrotechnic Manufacturing LLC 15 Glen Rd., Sandy Hook, CT 06482 USA , ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a mixture of Phenolic Resin and Hexamine as a binding agent in pyrotechnic compositions. In other industries this combination is used to bind a range of powders and fibers. Upon the application of relatively low heat, an exceptionally strong bond is created and even large objects can be solidly formed in just a few hours. In particular, it is thought that this process could have significant benefits to the manufacture of large aerial comets.
