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.
