The thermal decomposition behavior of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) oxalate was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG), and thermogravimetric analysis combined with infrared spectroscopy (TG‐IR). The endothermic decomposition of UDMH oxalate occurred at temperatures between 180.4 °C and 217.6 °C, the maximum decomposition temperature is 199.2 °C. The kinetic parameters of the decomposition reaction were calculated based on the Kissinger equation. The TG‐IR spectra indicated that the thermal main decomposition products of UDMH oxalate are CO 2 ,H 2 O and NH 3 .
