Bismuth Trioxide is a white solid compound that is insoluble in water. It is commonly used as a fuel in the composition of crackling stars, along with other chemicals such as charcoal and sulfur.
In fireworks, Bismuth Trioxide is primarily used as a fuel in crackling stars to produce the distinctive crackling or popping sound. It can also be used as a colorant in crackling stars to produce colored sparks along with the crackling sound.
It plays a crucial role in creating the desired visual and auditory effects in fireworks displays, adding excitement and variety to the show.
Bismuth Trioxide is typically incorporated into pyrotechnic compositions following specific formulations and blending techniques to achieve the desired crackling effect.
While Bismuth Trioxide is not considered environmentally hazardous, proper handling and disposal practices should be followed to minimize any potential impact.
Bismuth Trioxide can be harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed. Suitable protective clothing, such as a dust mask and gloves, should be worn when working with it.
Store Bismuth Trioxide in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat sources. Keep it tightly sealed in its original container to prevent contamination.
Ensure that Bismuth Trioxide meets relevant quality standards and regulations for use in fireworks to ensure safety and compliance.
As pyrotechnic technology advances, there may be further innovations in the use of Bismuth Trioxide and other chemicals to create new and exciting effects in fireworks displays.

This stuff makes Loud dragon eggs! I whipped up a batch of 1/8″ dragon eggs using this bismuth trioxide and 50 mesh Mg/Al and let me tell you, the little 1/8″ Dragon Eggs had a pop that’s just as loud or even a bit louder than a consumer Firecracker! I Highly recommend it to those wanting to make crackle/dragon eggs.
