JA2 propellant downloaded from a 120-mm tank round that had been subjected to conditioning at high temperature and humidity was observed to be discolored and covered with an unknown liquid.

The liquid covering the material was determined to be a mixture of water and DEGDN. In follow-up experiments it was
