By looking at the data above-it shows that the ignition temperature is lower than the ignition temperature of T-7. So wouldn't that mean that the new powder would absorb moisture even more than T-7?? Since I am assuming it is the powder coating that is supplying the "water resistant" properties(I know what they say about assuming)?? And wouldn't that same "coating" be what governs the ignition temperature??

It has to be either that coating. Or the actual size of the powder kernels. However kernel size will increase powder burn rate if it is smaller in kernel size. But I do not believe kernel size has an effect on ignition temperature?? Tom.
