Beschreibung

Otto Fuel II (OFII) was developed by Dr Otto Reitlinger and introduced by the United States Navy in the mid-1960s as a monopropellant, a propellant consisting of a chemical or mixture that can function on its own without the addition of a separate substance. It is amixture of three chemical constituents, propylene glycol dinitrate, dibutyl sebacate, and 2-nitrodiphenylamine, and has been primarily used as a torpedo propellant due to its ability to combust in the absence of oxygen. The development of OFII was significant given that it increased the speed and range of torpedoes, and despite 50 years in operation, it currently remains in use as a premier torpedo propellant.

Verwenden

OFII is used as a propellant for torpedoes and other weapons systems. OFII exists as a reddish-orange, oily liquid with a distinct odor and is a mixture of three chemicals, propylene glycol dinitrate (76%), dibutyl sebacate (22%), and 2-nitrodiphenylamine (1.5%). The largest component of OFII is propylene glycol dinitrate, a colorless liquid also known as 1,2-propylene glycol dinitrate, PGDN, or 1,2-propanediol dinitrate. Propylene glycol dinitrate is a nitrated ester that constitutes the explosive portion of OFII. OFII’s toxicity is largely associated with propylene glycol dinitrate.
Dibutyl sebacate, a clear liquid, is added to OFII as a desensitizing agent to stabilize the mixture. Although a significant fraction of OFII, dibutyl sebacate is also used in the production of plastics, including those used for packaging food, and as a flavor enhancer in foods such as nonalcoholic beverages, ice creams, candies, and baked goods. Additionally, it is used as a lubricant in shaving creams. Alternative names for dibutyl sebacate are decanedioic acid, dibutyl ester, sebacic acid, and dibutyl decanedioate. The final component of OFII is 2-nitodiphenylamine, a solid that serves as a stabilizer to control the explosion of propylene glycol dinitrate. It is also used as a solvent dye. 2-Nitrodiphenylamine is also referred to as 2-nitrobenzenamine, 2-nitro-N-phenyl, 2-nitro-N-phenylaniline, and Sudan Yellow 1339.

Sicherheitsprofil

Experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors.

Environmental Fate

OFII enters the environment as its three separate chemical components, with each partitioning into the environment at rates dependent on their individual chemical and physical properties. OFII has a relatively low vapor pressure indicating that little evaporation occurs. OFII is mainly released in water in waste streams from facilities involved in production or torpedo rework operations. Limited data on the environmental fate of OFII indicate that propylene glycol dinitrate is removed from the water by volatilization, and neither 2-nitrodiphenylamine nor dibutyl sebacate is volatile or soluble enough for the partitioning to air or water to be significant fate processes.
2-Nitrodiphenylamine tends to precipitate and has been detected in river sediments receiving wastewater runoff; this is considered its most likely fate. Data on biodegradation of propylene glycol dinitrate and 2-nitrodiphenylamine are mixed. Some studies indicate that these compounds may biodegrade while other experiments indicate that these components are largely recalcitrant to degradation. Dibutyl sebacate is rapidly biodegraded by a variety of microorganisms. Propylene glycol dinitrate and 2-nitrodiphenylamine are photolyzed and photooxidized in water and it is likely that these substances are similarly broken down in the air.
A bioaccumulation factor has been estimated only for 2-nitrodiphenylamine and indicates that it does not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms or biomagnify in the food chain. More information on the bioconcentration potential of these chemicals, including experimental data, is necessary to assess the biomagnification risk in the food chain.
