The memorandum summarizes the available information on the compatibility of liquid rocket propellants with prominent materials of construction. Fuels and oxidizers of current interest are discussed. The corrosion data which are presented will apply to storing, handling, and control equipment outside of missiles and to missile components excluding combustion chamber. The compatibility of materials with reaction products in combustion chambers, nozzles, etc., is not considered. Included in the summary are data for many nonmetallic materials. The memorandum is subdivided into sections according to the propellant. Each material of construction is rated for a given medium as belonging to one of four classes, based primarily upon corrosion resistance. Consideration also is given to such factors as catalytic decomposition and sensitivity to impact.

"Summarized are the physical properties, materials compatibility, handling techniques, flammability and explosivity, and procedures for storing, cleaning, and flushing the Titan II propellants N2O4 as the oxidizer and a nominal 50/50 blend of UDMH and N2H4 as the fuel. The data presented was derived both from a literature survey and from a test program conducted at Bell Aerosystems Company and at the U.S. Bureau of Mines". -- page iii.
