Description
The Science Behind Strontium Carbonate
Strontium carbonate is added to a blend of oxidizers and fuels to produce red colors in fireworks. When ignited, strontium ions emit a deep red light, captivating audiences with their vibrant glow.
Safety Considerations
While strontium carbonate is relatively stable and has low toxicity, it can irritate the respiratory system. Therefore, it is essential to handle it with care and store it in a cool, dry place away from heat and ignition sources.
Combining Colors
Strontium carbonate can be combined with other metals and compounds to create a variety of colors, including purple or pink, adding depth and complexity to fireworks displays.
Versatile Applications
Its versatility allows pyrotechnicians to tailor their compositions to achieve specific effects, ensuring each display is unique and visually striking.
Alexander –
Rating given due to the fact that as a coloring agent, this is not an ideal substance to use. As the result is significantly less red than the strontium nitrate based compositions. Overall excellent quality and fast turnaround! Very excellent product!
