Veline Color Star System

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.

Parlon is an acetone-soluble polymer that is used as a chlorine donor and binder. It is a good example of one of the new chemicals that has become available in the past few decades for use in compositions.

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.

Strontium carbonate (SrCO3) is a chemical compound that is commonly used in the production of fireworks to create red colors in pyrotechnic compositions. Strontium is an alkaline earth metal that burns with a bright red flame, making it a popular choice for creating red effects in fireworks.

Colorless powder. It slowly reacts with NH4ClO4 in presence of moisture. Calcium carbonate is often used in toy fireworks as a cheap substitute for strontium salts, but the flame is reddish orange and not so beautiful as with Strontium Carbonate

Copper Oxide II Black is typically combined with other metal salts or metal powders to produce a wide range of colors, including red, blue, green, and purple. These colors are created through a process known as thermal decomposition, in which heat from the burning firework causes the metal compounds to break down and emit light in specific wavelengths

Barium carbonate is used both in white and green color compositions. When chlorine donors are present in a composition a green color will result from the formation of BaCl+ in the flame. Without chlorine donors, BaO will be formed which emits white light. Barium carbonate is convenient to use in chlorate based color compositions since it will neutralize residual acid which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition.

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.

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

Barium nitrate is used as an oxidizer in both white and green color compositions. When chlorine donors are present in a composition a green color will result from the formation of BaCl+ in the flame. Without chlorine donors, BaO will be formed which emits bright white light. Barium nitrate is seldom used as the sole oxidizer in green color compositions. It is usually combined with perchlorate's to improve the color and increase the burning rate.
