vladou Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Does this composition exist? I heard some people spoke about it but I never found the formula. I'm looking for a good metalic green without Ba(NO3)2/ BaClO3 nor NH4ClO4. I made green and red Bleser Mg based stars but it sucked to roll with acetone. The stars crush too easily.. Maybe they would be harder if I cut them. Edited July 20, 2011 by vladou
vladou Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 I found the H.W.W green formula but it uses a lot of MgAl. Someone has already try it? Could I just replace the 25 parts of SrCO3 from the Buell red composition by 25 parts of BaCO3?

Maybe they would be harder if I cut them. Could only find one metallic green without the chems you mention. Never tried it so I can't say how good it is. I fear you may struggle to get a good green without BN/BC/AP. Name: Barium SulfateSource: Troy Fish Barium Sulfate 35 Potassium Perchlorate 30 Parlon 20 Magnalium, granular, -325 mesh 10 Red Gum 5 NOTES:Printed in Pyrotechnica VII. Bind with 50/50 mixture of acetone/alcohol. This is a good emerald green with slight yellow spark trail. It's a very good non-poisonous replacement for Barium Nitrate formulas.
Mumbles Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Yes, you can replace the strontium carbonate with most any other carbonate to get the corresponding color. Green works well.
vladou Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Thank you for your research optimus. I think I will replace the SrCO3 by the BaCO3 in the buell red composition and see how it goes..
