What Does HTPB Stand For?
HTPB stands for Hydroxyl Terminated Polybutadiene Propellant
HTPB, or Hydroxyl Terminated Polybutadiene Propellant, is a synthetic rubber commonly used as a binder and fuel component in solid rocket propellants. Its hydroxyl terminal groups enable cross-linking with curing agents, which enhances mechanical properties and thermal stability. HTPB provides a high-energy source for propulsion applications and is valued for its outstanding performance, versatility, and reliability in aerospace and defense sectors.
