Extracts of the stabilizer ethyl centralite and its derivatives in a series of aged gun and mortar propellants were investigated by combined high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The HPLC retention times and the chemical ionization mass spectra obtained allowed positive identification of several products and made it possible to construct concentration profiles as a function of aging time. These results are useful for implementation of modern methods into stability surveillance programs for gun and mortar propellants.
