Description
Composition and Properties
Potassium nitrate milled has a chemical formula KNO3 and is known for its high purity, ranging from 99.4% to 99.7%. It is milled to a fine powder for immediate use in fireworks and pyrotechnic compositions.
Uses in Fireworks
Potassium nitrate milled is the most extensively used oxidizer in fireworks, essential for manufacturing black powder. It is also used in making stars, comets, fountains, rocket fuels, and other pyrotechnic applications.
Benefits in Fireworks Production
Its high purity and quality make potassium nitrate milled ideal for all fireworks applications. It is a key ingredient in black powder, which has been used historically in firearms and continues to be used in rocket motors and smoke bombs.
Application Techniques
Potassium nitrate milled can be used directly in fireworks compositions. It is milled to a fine powder, ensuring easy incorporation into formulations.
Environmental Impact
Potassium nitrate milled is not particularly dangerous or toxic in small amounts. However, care should be taken in handling and storage to prevent accidents.
Safety Precautions
While potassium nitrate milled is generally safe to use, ingestion of large amounts has been linked to cancer, especially in small children. Proper handling and storage are essential.
Storage Recommendations
Store potassium nitrate milled in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent contamination.
Quality Standards and Regulations
Potassium nitrate milled undergoes rigorous quality control processes to ensure purity levels of 99.4% to 99.7%. It meets industry standards for use in fireworks and pyrotechnics.
Future Trends and Innovations
Research in pyrotechnics may lead to innovations in the use of potassium nitrate milled. New formulations and applications could enhance its performance and effectiveness in future fireworks displays.

Excellent chemical and milled pretty dang good. Usually with a 2 pound bag, I can get about 1 pound, 11 ounces to pass a 120 mesh screen, give or take.
A hugggge time saver and WELL worth the extra buck a pound!!

I’ve made Black Powder with the Stump remover KNO3 before. but with this KNO3, I was able to make even faster BP due to the finer particle size of the KNO3 and the higher purity, Very pleased with this KNO3, and is cheaper than the stump remover but Higher quality for sure.
