RubberRed1999 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Hey, I found a nice comp called lancaster chlorate red. I dont have any chlorate though, I do have perchlorate. Is it possible to substitute it out? Thanks, RR
Arthur Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Not usually. Certainly not exactly. The percentage of oxygen is different and chlorates produce enough chlorine to be a chlorine donor as well as an oxidiser, but perchlorates don't, so they need a chlorine donor like parlon or pvc (etc)then the ratios change a bit and the formulation has changed a bit. Lancaster does list a perchlorate red also, similar but slightly different -try it if you have the ingredients.
RubberRed1999 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks, Arthur. I havent actually seen this composition, do you mind listing it? RR
zeddev Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 I used it and it semi worked not sure for all formulas tho
PSAP Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Hey guys one more question i'd ask on here since i can't open new topics yet... many great star comps use KCLO4 but BP(burst charge), primes, other stars, etc. often contain sulfur. So my question is: isn't it risky to use KCLO4 based stars in shells/mines? I always thought that (per)chlorates and sulfur/sulfides are a big no-no
