DeadFX's Barium green

[DeAdFX]

Name of composition: DeadFX's Barium Green

Composition Type:Colored flame/Colored sparkler

Creator:Me, DeadFX

Color/Effect: Green flame w/ sparks depending on metal

The Composition: (in parts)

 

Green Compisition #1

Potassium Perchlorate 2.0

Hexamine 1.5

Barium Nitrate 5.5

Metallic powder* 1.5

Polyvinyl Chloride 1.5

 

 

*Metallic powder can be anything like Aluminum, Magnesium, Magnalium or Titanium. I have tested Magnesium and Aluminum and Magnesium produces a better green.

 

Any Precautions/Incompatabilities/extras:

Nitrate/metal reduction (formation of ammonia). Barium is toxic so be careful not to breathe in to much. I believe that is it.

 

Precedure/Preparation: Screen chemicals if necessary. Mix fuels together and crush any lumps. Mix oxidizers and carbonates and crush any lumps. Mix the fuels and oxidizers together and add your favorite binder or use the Polyvinyl Chloride as the binder. I haven't tried binding these compisitions yet but I assume around 4% dextrin would be acceptable.
