Abstract
The invention relates to an igniter device for igniting energetic materials, more specifically to the area of the initiation of munitions, and methods of forming said ignition devices. There is provided an igniter device, for use in an explosive train, comprising a first synthetic polymer layer, a second synthetic polymer layer, wherein said first layer and second layer envelope a portion of an energetic material, wherein said synthetic polymer is capable of being sealed.
Claims21
An igniter device, for use in an explosive train, the device comprising a first synthetic polymer layer, a second synthetic polymer layer, wherein said first layer and second layer envelope a portion of an energetic material, wherein said first and second synthetic polymer layers each comprise a synthetic polymer that is capable of being sealed.
A method of forming an igniter device, the method comprising:
- preparing a synthetic polymer layer;
- adding an energetic material onto the synthetic polymer layer;
- folding said synthetic polymer layer over itself, such as to form first and second synthetic polymer layers that form an envelope about said energetic material;
- and
- sealing said synthetic polymer layers, such that the said energetic material is enveloped.
A method of forming an igniter device, the method comprising:
- preparing at least a first synthetic polymer layer;
- adding an energetic material onto a first synthetic polymer layer;
- forming an envelope about said energetic material with a second synthetic polymer layer;
- and
- sealing the said first and second synthetic polymer layers, such that the said energetic material is enveloped.
