Pyrotechnic & Fireworks Chemicals


Buy including potassium nitrate, aluminum powder, potassium perchlorate, magnalium, Charcoal and sulfur


Making fireworks requires chemicals with very specific properties and characteristics. Skylighter offers a wide variety of chemicals used to make fireworks and pyrotechnic devices. Here you will find all the common oxidizers and fuels such as potassium perchlorate, potassium nitrate (saltpeter), sodium nitrate, strontium nitrate, aluminum and other metal powders used in making fireworks. But Skylighter can also provide you with many less common and hard to find fireworks chemicals such as Parlon, saran, red gum, starpol, Chlorowax, and dozens of others. More resources on making fireworks and using pyrotechnic chemicals.

Unless otherwise noted, all fireworks and pyrotechnic chemicals come packed in a twist-tied plastic bag in a sealed, reusable plastic tub. Some, very light-weight, high-volume pyrotechnic chemicals (like air float charcoal, lampblack, and Cab-O-Sil) are packed in boxes instead of tubs. Each container is labeled, shows the chemical's safety rating, and contains a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for that chemical. The pyrotechnic chemicals we supply are generally technical grade, sometimes better. Technical grade is generally defined as "chemicals of reasonable purity." Our fireworks chemicals' descriptions have been excerpted from The Illustrated Dictionary of Pyrotechnics and Fireworks: The Art, Science and Technique.

Potassium Dichromate, orange crystals
(potassium bichromate) [K2Cr2O7] Orange granular powder
Used as a surface treatment to suppress the corrosion and reactivity of magnesium; infrequently as an oxidizer; and as a catalyst to aid in the decomposition of potassium perchlorate, often in primes. It does this by lowering the activation energy of the chemical reaction that takes place when the composition burns. That makes the star, comet, etc. ignite at a lower temperature. Potassium dichromate enables the oxidizer to part with its oxygen with a lower input of energy than would otherwise be needed. In other words, it allows the oxidizer to decompose at a lower temperature.

Smoke Mix, Blue
Dark blue powder
Smoke "mix" contains organic powdered dye and all chemical components necessary to make colored smoke except the oxidizer, potassium chlorate. Just add 27% potassium chlorate (potassium perchlorate will not work) and light. If you do not have potassium chlorate, it does NOT come with this product--you will have to order it separately. This mix contains disperse blue 3 smoke dye, lactose, magnesium carbonate, and sodium carbonate.

Just a quick note to let y'all know my order arrived yesterday. This blue smoke is absolutely fabulous. I'm a sucker for blue and would have been happy with any ole shade of blue, even a pastel--but this stuff kicks out the most remarkably lush deep blue-purple smoke. My mouth drops open with every sample I light off. Said it before: y'all rock. Mike McCool, Eugene, OR

Approximate Particle Size Breakdown:
-80+100 mesh = 65%

This is an industrial byproduct. May contain very small amount of flakes, needles, and slight amount of foreign matter; but will not affect its performance. Produces bright white sparks. Works well in fountains, rockets, stars, and comets. Mix this with larger particle sizes if you want long comet tails.
