Fireworks consist of a mixture of substances giving effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or their combination in a self-sustaining exothermic reactions which do not require additional oxygen.
Fireworks usually consist of five main ingredients.
1. The fuel that allows so-called "star" to be burned, usually based on metal or black gunpowder (a mixture of sulfur, dioxide (carbon and potassium nitrate);
2. An oxidant which (usually) provides the oxygen for fuel burning. Most often it is perchlorate (ClO4), chlorate (ClO3), nitrate (NO3), but also the chromates (CrO4) or oxides (e.g. Cu2O, Fe3O4, ZnO2) can be used;
3. Colorants, usually chlorides of suitable metals such as strontium, sodium and copper;
4. The binder that connects explosive, e.g. rubber or resin;
5. Chlorine donor necessary to react with the color-imparting metal to strengthen the color intensity. Surprisingly in the second group of metals such as strontium, it is believed that this metal chloride (I) (e.g. SrCl) give the color and not a common divalent ion (e.g. SrCl2).
PIROMAX has a lot of attention to the selection of appropriate effects. In the Chinese laboratories we experiment on selection of appropriate chemical elements in order to achieve unique effects to satisfy our customers (clients).
The list of chemical elements listed below, are, on a daily basis, used for the production of pyrotechnic mixtures. U can find also short info what they are mainly responsible for.
Al – Aluminum – silver and white sparks, additional brightness
Ba – Barium salt – green fireworks
C – Carbon – one of main components of black gunpowder using as fireworks’ fuel
Ca – Calcium salt – colors’ deepening, orange flame
Cl – Chlorine compounds – important part of many oxidants
Cs – Cesium salt – facilitates the oxidation of the substances contained in the fireworks, as cesium nitrates gives indigo color
Cu – Copper – gives blue-green effects
Fe – Iron – producing sparks
K – Potassium – very important oxidant, gives purplish-pink color
Li – Lithium salt – adds moderate red color
Mg – Magnesium – burns very bright flame so is used to achieve white sparks or to improve sparkling (brilliancy) of fireworks
Na – Sodium – gives yellow color
