Perchlorate is the inorganic salt with the chemical formula KClO₄ and is a very common oxidizer in pyrotechnics.  Pyrotechnicians use Potassium Perchlorate for making colorful stars and flash powder.

Potassium Nitrate Technical Grade is back!

Potassium Nitrate milled is the most extensively used oxidizer in fireworks and pyrotechnics. It used for a wide variety of applications, the most important of which is in the manufacture of black powder.   It is also used for making stars, comets, fountains, rocket fuels and many others.

Red Gum is one of the most widely used organic fuels in modern pyrotechnics and is particularly effective with Potassium perchlorate.

Sulfur has always been used extensively in pyrotechnics. It serves as a fuel and reduces the ignition temperature of mixtures. It also tends to increase the burning rate and friction or shock sensitivity of most mixtures.

Red iron oxide is used as a catalyst in composite and whistling rocket propellant and Candy rocket propellant formulations. It is also added to some glitter formulations and used for thermite, a mixture that produces enormous amounts of heat, forming molten iron. Due to its catalytic properties, it is also added to primes, and even colored star compositions to increase their ignitability and burn rate.

Magnalium sometimes called Mg/Al is a very brittle alloy of magnesium and aluminum. Some common uses are in for spark effects, in strobing compositions, and in crackling stars.

Dextrin is one of the most commonly used binders in pyrotechnics as it is very cheap and readily available. It is water-soluble and can produce rock hard stars. Its cohesive power is weaker than that of SGRS anyway. Dextrin should not be used in a very damp climate as the stars tend to get wet rather than non-dextrin stars. Western pyrotechnics uses dextrin rather than SGRS, while the former is not popular in Japan and China.
