Silicon [0-45µm]
9,19 € – 110,99 €
Name: 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.

Sulfur (S)
5,49 € – 34,99 €Select optionsName: Sulphur, Amorphous Sulfur, Prilled Sulfur, Flour Sulfur
Chemical formula: S
Particle size: very fine powderDescription: Sulfur has always been used extensively in pyrotechnics. It serves as a fuel, and reduces the ignition temperature of mixtures. It also tends to increase the burning rate and friction or shock sensitivity of most mixtures

Charcoal Oak
9,49 € – 57,99 €Select optionsName: Charcoal Oak
Chemical formula: C
Particle size: very fine powder
purity: 99%Description: Charcoal finds widespread use in pyrotechnics. Many types of charcoal exist, each with its own properties. It is a complex organic substance containing moisture, ash, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and a variety of volatiles. All of these elements have a vital use in fireworks. Charcoal made from willow or grapevine is considered great for black powder, while hardwood charcoals e.g. pine charcoal are commonly used for spark effects. The particle size and the process used to make the charcoal also play an important role in the quality of the charcoal for a specific purpose. Very fine charcoal floats in air and is therefore sometimes referred to as ‘airfloat’. Because charcoal is a very important chemical it is listed in the Beginners’ pages

Dextrin
6,49 € – 49,99 €Select optionsName: Dextrin
Chemical formula: C6H10O5
Particle size: powderDescription: Dextrin is one of the most commonly used binders in pyrotechnics as it is very cheap and readily available. It is water-soluble and can produce rock hard stars. Its cohesive power is weaker than that of SGRS anyway. Dextrin should not be used in a very damp climate as the stars tend to get wet rather than non-dextrin stars. Western pyrotechnics uses dextrin rather than SGRS, while the former is not popular in Japan and China.

Barium Carbonate
4,99 € – 38,99 €Select optionsName: Barium Carbonate, Barium monocarbonate, Carbonic acid barium salt
Chemical formula: BaCO3
Particle size: very fine powderDescription: Barium carbonate is used both in white and green color compositions. When chlorine donors are present in a composition a green color will result from the formation of BaCl+ in the flame. Without chlorine donors BaO will be formed which emits white light. Barium carbonate is convenient to use in chlorate based color compositions since it will neutralize residual acid which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition

Magnesium [200µm]
13,99 € – 139,99 €Select optionsName: Magnesium
Chemical formula: Mg
Particle size: 200µm
purity: 99,8%Description: Magnesium powder is used in a wide variety of compositions, flash powder, both for spark effects and ‘normal’ fuel purposes. Relatively coarse magnesium is used for spark effects. In flares and some bright colored star compositions it functions as a normal fuel
