Depending where you live, the shipping from Nitroparis will also cost some. I requested a quote some while ago, and I remember that the shipping here was going to be 200€ regardless of the amount of chemicals.

I know that nitroparis is located in spain but do they require you provide a lisence like an ATFE?

To answer your question to some extent...

I think your going to have a difficult time finding some decent organo bromides that will work for pyrotechnic application. Brominating tablets used in pools are most likely going to have shitty shelf life. You could try finding some polyvinyl bromide or making it by brominating ethene. Either way chlorine is by far cheaper and easier to do.

Hmm this mixture also works Titanium aerospace alloy (90/6/4 Ti/V/Al). I tried a mix of 65% Sodium thiosulfate (hydration unknown) 25% 90/6/4 20 mesh and 10% Mg powder (200something mesh?). The mix made a bunch of rapid cracking sounds but they were not very loud. So far this stuff hasn't been super impressive. The stuff is rather difficult to ignite. I was hoping the titanium variant would have been louder...

This question is more or less directed at the thread starter. What does ?m suppose to mean? Is that micron or mesh?

Has anybody tried using different grades of Aluminum and or Magnesium (flake/atomized/blackhead/etc)?

I wouldn't mind doing a little experimentation except I am still looking for a thiosulfate source + I have only two grades of aluminum(atomized/India) and two grades of Magnesium(granular and strips/turnings).


Thoughts on using CuO as another source of oxygen. I remember reading on sciencemadness's exotic thermite section that Iron Oxide in various states of hydration will produce some sort of a crackling noise. Prehaps we should try experimenting with Thiosulfate + various cheap/low toxicity transition metal oxides.
