#57396 Two very useful priming comps

Posted by scientific.pyrotechnics on 01 July 2009 - 09:39 PM

Sorry but I think your post should be called unscientific.pyro. What is the point of all these ingredients! Sugar with chlorate is just plain dangerous. In the whole of Valencia I have only come across 3 primes "uni prime" for AP .and either green or silver brocade for KP and for Chlorate ( yes the brocade does contain sulphur ).The last coat is always "Hiki" C6. The rule is charcoal in the prime, nitrate in the burst. My burst is KClO4 7, Al 3, KNO3 1.



You are most rude t be a "sir" and can you tell me what Acid sugar contains that could make some dangerous mix with sugar?

since only organic and mineral acids and sure sulphides will react and forming ClO2 and some Chloric acid that leads to spontaneous ignition in contact with air.

Can we get a comment from the Sir of Knowledge?
He might tell you the whole reaction better then i could.

Cheers.
