MrBuzzard Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Didnt know if i am allowed to post this in Supplier reviews or not but i was wondering if anyone has ordered any chemicals/supplies from this site (link at bottom) Anyways also wondering if someone can direct me to a supplier in the US that sells Perchlorate without the requirement of an ID. http://pyrochemicals.com/index.php?cPath=21
al93535 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Pyrohobby. A bit more expensive, but there is no need for ID. http://www.pyrohobby.com/cartv8/default2.asp
MrBuzzard Posted March 27, 2006 Author Posted March 27, 2006 their perchlorate is out do you happend to know when they are going to get another shipment in? Also if you have ordered from these people how fast is their shipping and what not? Thanks for your time.
aquaman Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 They havn't had KClO4 for a long time. So I wouldn't expect it any time soon.
al93535 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I didn't notice they were out. I ordered from them quite some time ago. They were fast, and the shipping was also fast as well. I would order from them again if thier prices were not so high.
Pyrohawk Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I know I'll get yelled at for even suggesting this but.... www.unitednuclear.com . They have ridiculously high prices but if your desperate they do sell it and require no ID.
MrBuzzard Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Wel i need 2lbs of it to go along with some Aluminum that i got off of www.pyroaluminum.com to make some 70:30 perc/al flash but i guess i will have to sit it out, and i wanted to get all my chems set up before the big rush of the june and july months I am just gathering all my info on certain items thats all. EDIT: looking at UN and it says this under their perc/ "Note: We can not legally sell this material to those who plan on making exploding fireworks or Flash Powder. Orders placed that appear to be for those purposes will automatically be refunded." I think if i bought 2lbs off them it would look a tad bit funny no? Can/will any one be willing to sell me some in the near future? Money can be transfered over paypal if necessary.
Boomer Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 "...if i bought 2lbs off them it would look a tad bit funny no?" Why should it? Add some dextrin, PVC, shellac... plus strontium/barium compounds to the list, and leave the (fine) Al off. You make stars only! Man I buy litres of sulfuric and nitric in the same shop, but on different days from different staff. Need I say that the glycerine is from a different place
murderskill Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 There is this place called plans and kits. I think you just have to be 18. Thats all it says and stuff about local laws. http://www.plans-kits.com/store.html EDIT: I wouldnt buy that stuff. But thats just me. Plans and kits has 625 mesh.(good enough for flash) way cheaper!
MrBuzzard Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Boomer i guess you are right, but it's not like i can go down to my local wal-mart and pick up 2 pounds of perchlorate even with the happy smiley face that rolls back the prices. (althought that would be a funny sight) I don't know what I am going to do, i guess I am gonna have to look around. And murderskill, the site you provided does not sell perchlorate any more.
Mumbles Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 That Al is spherical, and won't actually work all that well in flash. I would be much more suited for a nice long white flame from a rocket. Sorry to take it off topic.

MrBuzzard Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Ahhh mumbles, why do you have to make me so depressed some times? Hmmm i will research this! EDIT: Mumbles, I was looking through this forums old site under the supplier review and it even says that www.pyroaluminum.com sells 2 micron STAR shaped military grade aluminum.
PyroJoe Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Im guessing star mollecule is basically flake, but shaped like a star? or like a snowflake maybe. I can tell you though, their aluminum works just as good or better than german dark.
Mumbles Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 The hell are you talking about? I never said anything about star molecule Al. It apparantly works very well in flash. Anyway, I was talking about that plan-kits place, they have atomised Al. I have some star molecule at home, I should bring it into school sometime and look at it under a microscope.
Bayarea510 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Pyroaluminum.com has some good Al. I know the owner very well have have bought tons of stuff from him the past. He use to have some bad ass rockets on another site he ran. As far as the pyrochemicals site, looks like the have kno3 and kclo4 back in stock.
MrBuzzard Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 BayArea, have you personaly ordered from pyrochemical at all in the past?
