This paper describes work done to study the potential hazards of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) based formulations. Friction and drop weight tests were performed on various GAP propellants, GAP mixed with different ingredients, and at different steps during processing of a propellant mix. The results showed that, under certain conditions, GAP formulations can be highly friction and impact sensitive.
