Red Gum (Yacca gum)
8,99 € – 93,99 €
Name: Yacca gum, Red Gum
Chemical formula: N/A
Particle size: fine powder
Description: Red gum, or accaroid resin, is one of the most widely used organic fuels in modern pyrotechnics and is particularly effective with Potassium perchlorate. It is made from the excretions of Grass Trees (Xanthorrhoea Genus), native to Australia. Most of the worlds product originates from Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Historically a different resin by the same name has been sold, which was extracted from waste products of the Eucalyptus timber industry. Red gum is soluble in many conventional solvents; alcohols, ethers, and ketones. Ethanol, methanol, acetone, isopropanol and butanone are commonly used in pyrotechnic preperation. It also has use as a binder

Boric Acid
2,99 € – 8,99 €Select optionsName: Boric acid
Chemical formula: H3BO3
Particle size: crystaline fine powder
purity: 99% With anti-caking (easier handeling)Description: Boric acid is a white powder which is used as an additive to compositions containing aluminium and a nitrate. The metal powder can reduce the nitrate to an amide, which will react with the metal powder in a very exothermic reaction that can lead to spontaneous ignition of the composition. This process is often accompanied by a smell of ammonia and is most likely to occur with wet compositions. Addition of a few percent boric acid can often prevent this reaction from taking place since it neutralizes the very basic amides forming ammonia and a borate. It is also advisable to avoid using a water-soluble binder for these compositions. Using red gum or shellac with alcohol or nitrocellulose lacquer is safer. Boric acid is hygroscopic. The use of boric acid with magnesium or magnalium is not advised, as it actively attacks and corrodes these metals.
