Respirator Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Inherited a pool recently along with pool chems, among which is Trichloroisocyanuric acid ( a chlorinating agent with a big 5.1 oxidiser symbol.) I found that this produces an interesting effect... This composition produces the thickest pure white smoke of any comp I've tested per gram with absolutely no flame. The comp:Trichloroisocyanuric acid - 70Sucrose - 30Copper sulfate - 1 Sugar should be milled until a fine dust but the TCCA works best as coarser particles 40-60# Screen well. I have only test edit as a loose powder. Sorry, as this is typed on a phone, will add more once I have a proper machine.( including videos) 1
Sparx88 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 sounds interesting. keep working on it and let us know. very cool
PyroCube Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Isn`t that substance used to disinfect pool water? I once read about a such smoke composition but the smokewas really nasty, as I remember there was a lot of chlorine gas in the smoke so I don`t think this is really usable for smoke bombs...Best regards
BurritoBandito Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I have to agree with PyroCube. I hope your wearing that respirator. Please be careful.
Respirator Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 Sure am, I agree about the chlorine, but I didn't notice any traces after the smoke dissipated (and a small wait) Another problem I could think of would be cyanide related compounds, but my lack of much internet prevents much further research at the moment. Not exactly sure if the copper sulfate does anything, but it was in the TCCA so I included it in the formula to keep results consistent.
