The P100-1 is a 100 mm caliber KNO3-sorbotol motor. A similar motor but filled with KN(65%)SU(17,5%)SB(15%) was tested in 2002. During that test severe damage of the aluminum shells which contain the propellant, was found. Unfortunately no thust was registered at that time. Recent tests with KNSB58 motors have shown that protection of the shells with 0.5 to 1 mm of parabond is very efficient.

The KNSB58-3 is the third
test with a small KNO3-sorbotol motor. In the preceding test the problems with
the aluminum shells (see test of KNSB58-1) seems to have been solved thanks to
the usage of parabond instead of silicon
for the coating on the inner shell surface. This time the layer thickness was
about 0.5 mm.

De KNSB-2 is the second test with this small rocket motor. Although
the use of aluminum tubes generated problems
in the first test (see report static test KNSB58-1) it was decided to use the
same type of tubes again. Bert Kimpe suggested replacing the silicon liner used
in the first test by parabond. A somewhat thicker liner was used (about 1 mm).
The test was conducted on November 18, 2006.
