I'm looking for a yellow flash comp using sodium nitrate and aluminum. I'm not to worried about how loud it is I want Avery solid and distinctive yellow.

My first try would be NaNO3:Mg (-200 mesh) 1:1.

Else you can look into persulphates.

Here is another one:

 

NaCl 38%

Mg 33%

NaNo3 29%

 

 

(I prefer NaNo3/Mg 50/50 if any)

 

I dont like flash whit Mg,,,,Just saying..

Sometimes sodium oxalate is added to a normal 70/30 flash as say 70/30 +30. The oxalate doesn't take up moisture like sodium nitrate can.

Hey, NaNO3 doesnt soak up water almost, try NaNO3 50% Al powder 50%, or NaNO3 70% Al powder 30%.

If you some less brightness, use NaNO3 50% Sulpfur 30% Al powder 20%, its also good for burst charges.

If only that were true. It's not always terrible, but it depends on your location. It absorbs water above around 70% relative humidity at 20C/68F. This makes it basically unusable during much of the building season where I live, without taking special precautions..
