I have some limited experience using Xylitol. I have "mixed feelings" based
on both positive and negative experiences with it.
Positive: low melting point, does not caramelize, lower viscosity than KNDX
or KNSB, non-hygroscopic
Negative: seems to take much longer than KNSB to cure. Forms a hard crust
but is soft and sticky inside the grain. When mixed with RIO, an odd thing
happened. The resulting propellant was much lower density and apparently
full of tiny air bubbles. When fired in a proven motor, it CATO'ed. Has
anyone else experienced this?

Thank you for the efforts,
does anyone on this list use xylitol??
I have had good experiences. but i use it mainly because its cheap and
accessible for me.
Thank you,

i used the chemical equation to work out the ideal radio for xylitol but
when i made it it burned realllly badly so the 65/35 ratio seems to be the
best

Can you please work out the ratio for kno3 and zylitol?/

Oh, I think I just figured it out: just add extra glycerine to consume
the remaining oxygen. Kinda obvious in hindsight.

Substitutions

Hey All,
I've been doing some stoichiometric
calculations for sugar substitutions. Initially,
things were going well.
KNO3 balances with Dextrose and
Fructose at a ratio of 3.200:1 by weight and
KNO3 balances with Sucrose at a ratio
of 2.835:1.
However, when I tried to come up with a
balanced reaction for glycerine (C3H8O3) or propylene glycol
(C₃H₈O₂) with KNO3, a balanced chemical equation
wasn't forthcoming. Any suggestions? I'm sure
I'm missing something obvious, it's been a long time since I
did this kind of thing.
This is as close as I can get, but it
leaves a lot of unreacted oxygen on the right side of the
equation:
6(KNO3) + (C3H8O3) -> 3(N2) +
3(K2CO3) + 4(H2O) + 8.5(O2)
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
