Patent ID: 6929707

Claim:
A stabilized water-in-oil energetic emulsion composition comprising a) an aqueous oxidizer phase comprising at least one oxygen supplying component; b) an organic phase comprising at least one organic fuel: c) an emulsifying amount of at least one emulsifying agent suitable for forming a water-in-oil emulsion; and d) an emulsion stabilizer comprising an acylated hydrocarbon polymer, said acylated hydrocarbon polymer having {overscore (M)} n ranging from about 2,000 to about 6,000 and acyl groups selected from carboxylic acids, their anhydrides, and alkyl esters of said carboxylic acids wherein said alkyl groups have 1 to 7 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof provided that the organic phase of said emulsion composition is essentially free of any polyvalent inorganic agent that is capable of cross-linking with the emulsifying agent or the emulsion stabilizer.
