JP-10 (fuel)

JP-10 fuel - (Jet Propellant 10), is a jet fuel, specified and used widely in military applications but it is not a kerosene based fuel. It is a gas turbine fuel for missiles. It contains mainly exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (a synthetic fuel), and adamantane. However, it is usually classed as a single component fuel, as well as a hydrocarbon. It is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene and then isomerization. It superseded JP-9 because of a lower temperature service limit. It is also used by missiles (Tomahawk, Tsirkon).

Russian equivalent is called detsilin.
