Colophonium/Resin
4,99 € – 14,99 €
Name: Colophonium, Colophony resin, wood resin, pine resin
Chemical formula: C18H32O16
Particle size: flakes
Description: Colophonium is an alcohol soluble resin which is sometimes used as a binder and as a fuel-binder combination . As such it is not used very often since it is expensive and doesn’t have much adhesion capacity. Shimizu discerns two different types of colophony. One type is called wood resin and strongly smells of wood or somewhat like an aetheric oil. This is the common resin. Another type he names “combustion agent bl” in some of his books and this is sold as a natural phenolic resin called Vinsol, available at some pyro suppliers

Shellac Gum
11,79 € – 29,49 €Select optionsName: Shellac Gum
Chemical formula: C16H26O4
Particle size: powderDescription: Shellac has been in use as a binder and fuel for many centuries, but has been gradually replaced by Red gum. However, it is still sometimes claimed that shellac is a superior fuel for use in coloured compositions. It is a somewhat brittle but strong resin that dissolves in ethanol and acetone, albeit slowly.

Silicon [0-45µm]
9,19 € – 110,99 €Select optionsName: Silicon
Chemical formula: Si
Particle size: 0-45µm
purity: 99%Description: It is mainly used for hot primes in combination with potassium nitrate or gunpowder, forming ignition compositions for special devices such as waterfalls with high Al content, or stars which are likely to blow blind. Once ignited, such primes produce a hot molten glass droplets and assure ignition of the main effect. They produce quite high temperatures, for the melting point of Si is 1420 deg C.
