50AE cheap metallic green.

[50AE]

This is a composition I made tonight, because long time ago I promised to do a cheap one with available chemicals. It burns with a nice deep green. Not as deep as Mg, but excellent for aluminum based green

 

Barium nitrate: 110

Aluminum fine bright or dark very fine: 25 (Won't work with atomized or coarse). Optimized for the russian PAP-2

Sulfur: 10

PVC: 27

Dextrin: +8 (increase barium nitrate to 120). Bind with wheat starch if using Al bright stearin coated.

Boric acid in solution: +1 (optional, wise to add if using Al dark and water)

 

Formation: cut or pressed. Will be very difficult to roll with this bright Al. Maybe easier with dark Al.

 

The comp will experience a bit more of a tweaking. It will need a very hot prime, as it is hard to ignite.

I am not able to get parlon and red gum

so I will try second one.

I haven?t seen the green formulas(in Indian fireworks,Shivakasi ) that contain sulferin it.
