Propergol homogène contenant essentiellement deux bases énergétiques : la nitrocellulose et un nitrate organique liquide dont la fonction est de gélatiniser la nitrocellulose. En propulsion, l'emploi de ces propergols se limite aux petites et moyennes roquettes et aux étages de décollage et d'accélération des gros missiles. On parle alors de propergols SD (sans dissolvant) obtenus par extrusion, ou de propergols épicètes obtenus par moulage. 2, record 1, French, - propergol%20double%20base
