[laquil]

Hi Every one

I need your help and I am looking for the following receipt the green strobe/twinkle u r-red strobe/twinkle, and in part exchange we shall provide you the Maltese Beraq receipt

I hope that some one will answer back for my request, please contact me on my email if you wish

Thanks in advance

Regards

Laquil

You can easily make these

Laquil, I am sending you via email the formula for red and green twinkle stars. Both are Nitrate based stars & are easy to make. They are cut stars using Parlon & Acetone as a binder.They do require a very good prime to ignite them & I am also sending you a formula for a Spanish prime that works very well. Let me know how these work out for you.

You can put the formula to send my mailbox, thank you very much

just emailed the formula for all three to you. Let me know how they work for you. Joe

If he can't make a green star I am going to take his China license. LOL Just joking I hope I did not offend him.
.
Actually that is nice of you PyroJoe to supply him with information. It is actually cool and interesting to have someone from China on the forums seeking information about fireworks. It most likely is representative of how controlled internet communication is regulated in China. Not sure if you knew but he has a YouTube account. Last I tried to communicate with someone in China they are unable to view YouTube videos. Here are some video from his channel. I am not sure how he is running a YouTube account from China, I heard China blocked YouTube. I checked his ip address , he is from China.

Dave, your last post made me realize something: When we [myself] think about people from China we [I] automatically assume they are all "Master Pyro's...I never really thought about the people there that are hobbyists like so many of us...just like everyone in Italy or Malta isn't a master at building five foot multibreak shells! Sometimes we make assumptions not based on facts! I wonder how difficult it is for them with such tight governmental control over them to be able to purchase building supplies? It makes me appreciate the freedoms we have here in the USA in spite of all the "hoops" we have to jump through at times.
I'm glad to be able to help him out with the information he requested and hope he is able to stay active on the Forum.

I discovered after the experiment does not blink

[PyroJoeNEPA]

There are two things that might be the problem:

1. The Magnalium MgAl must be 60 mesh. If it is a finer mesh it will not give the effect you need. This is most likely the problem.

2. The Antimony Trisulfide Sb2S3 should be fine--325 mesh. If it is "prilled" or "needle " it should be milled into a fine powder.

I do think the problem is in the mesh size of the Magnalium.
I hope this helps to solve your problem.Let me know.

[wizard7611]

I want to just ask one question here, if you don't mind. Can you add Magnalium and Antimony Trisulfide to any star formula?

The short answer is__Yes & No.
The long answer is:
Antimony Trisulfide was used in earlier flash mixes, but made the mix very sensitive to friction & shock & is not used a lot for that--although there are formulas that use it still in use today ... the most common one being the "dark report" used in shell inserts and "flash bags" to break larger [6" & up] shells. It is the main component that causes the strobing to take place with the coarse mesh size of the metal. Just "adding it" to any random mix of star mixes without taking into consideration the other components of the mix could give you some seriously unwanted & dangerous mixes.
Magnalium is a mixture of Magnesium & Aluminum & will give you a trail of bright sparks. Coarser mesh size gives you a longer burning effect. It may add to or take away from the desired effect you have in the basic star formula. Most of the parlon star formulas use MgAl. But if you are making a charcoal based star--like a gold streamer for a willow or horsetail-the white sparks would take away from the pretty gold trail left by the charcoal. Also, it is prone to absorb moisture.
I hope this helps.

So when combining Antimony Trisulfide and Magnalium with a star formula, what chemicals should I be aware of that will create a dangerous mixture? Sulfur for sure, but what else?

Chlorate or Perchlorate based star compositions with the Antimony Trisulfide are the main issue.
I wouldn't randomly mix chems trying to re-invent the wheel. There are literally dozens of already tested formula out there for basically any type star or garniture that you might want to make.
Is there something specific that you were looking to make? Or just being curious?

[benrenyi4]

I was using a 200 mesh aluminum-magnesium alloy, thank you for your guidance

[wizard7611]

I was curious, but I'll think on that.

[wizard7611]

Would about Parlon stars that have Antimony Trisulfide and Magnalium in them?

[PyroJoeNEPA]

None of the above star formula use Antimony Trisulfide. The silver star uses coarse 60 mesh with the Perchlorate so it is not a flash mixture. The other mixtures that use the fine 325 mesh Magnalium (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, & Aqua) are Nitrate based . The small amount of Perchlorate in the Red & Orange add in the oxidation to get the burn going. So, you see, you do not have a fine mesh Aluminum or Magnalium to cause a problem. Again, these formulas have been around for quite some time & have been tweaked & re-tweaked to get where they are today. Stick to the formula & you will have a nice star.

[wizard7611]

Stick to what formula?

[PyroJoeNEPA]

Stick to what formula?

The formulas you posted in the Parlon Star chart above. They will work fine just as they are.

[wizard7611]

Yes, but would if I wanted them to strobe?

[PyroJoeNEPA]

Yes, but would if I wanted them to strobe?
Then forget about that chart for now & do some research on formulas for strobing stars.There are lots of them available. Making a strobe out of an existing formula is not as simple as adding sugar to your coffee to make it sweet.
