Flash Duster Dust Magnet Starter Kit, 1 Handle + 14 Refills, Trap And Lock Away Dust, Dirt And Hair In No Time

Product Information

Created by Pege Yates, a Sugar Artist & Mother of 5, to be a safe and edible option to add a flash of light to ANY edible creation. Magnesium based compositions degrade over long periods, meaning the metallic Mg will slowly react with atmospheric oxygen and moisture. In military pyrotechnics involving magnesium fuels, external oxygen can be excluded by using hermetically sealed canisters. Commercial photographic flash powders are sold as two-part mixtures, to be combined immediately before use. For best results, the aluminium powder should be "Dark Pyro" grade, with a flake particle shape, and a particle size of fewer than 10 micrometres. The KClO 4 should be in powder form, free from clumps. It can be sieved through a screen, if necessary, to remove any clumps prior to use. The particle size of the perchlorate is not as critical as that of the aluminium component, as much less energy is required to decompose the KClO 4 than is needed to melt the aluminium into the liquid state required for the reaction. If magnesium isn't a very fine powder it can be passivated with linseed oil or potassium dichromate. The passivated magnesium flash powder is stable and safe to store. The composition is approximately 59% KNO 3: 31.6% Al: 9.4% S by weight for the reactants of the above stoichiometrically balanced equation.

A ratio of seven parts potassium perchlorate to three parts dark pyro aluminium is the composition used by most pyrotechnicians. No matter the quantity, care must always be taken to prevent any electrostatic discharge or friction during mixing or handling, as these may cause accidental ignition. Holds up reflective properties in hot sugar, candy work, isomalt, on chocolate, buttercream, fondant and more!All ingredients used are FDA complaint for use in confections and candy as outline in FDA Code 21CFR73.350. Normally, flash powder mixtures are compounded to achieve a particular purpose. These mixtures range from extremely fast-burning mixtures designed to produce a maximum audio report, to mixtures designed to burn slowly and provide large amounts of illumination, to mixtures that were formerly used in photography. Examples of theatrical binary flash powders. Note the shared oxidizer (A) powder for some types of fuels (B).

Flash powder compositions are also used in military pyrotechnics when production of large amount of noise, light, or infrared radiation is required, e.g., missile decoy flares and stun grenades.This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content.

( November 2013) The composition is 62.5% KNO 3: 37.5% Mg by weight for the reactants of the above stoichiometrically balanced equation. Below is the same reaction but involving barium nitrate.
