Crazy Swede Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The brightest flares are made with sodium nitrate and magnesium. A lot of excess magnesium can be used (50-60 %) and stability is usually ok if the magnesium is treated with linseed oil first. DIfficult in humid areas though!

Mumbles Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Just to follow up on this. He entered the discord chat a few days ago and we discussed this. As CrazySwede suggested, we provided a sodium nitrate based flare comp. The following is from Hardt. Hardt white flare #1:Magnesium 30-50 mesh: 58Sodium nitrate 37.5Binder 4.5 He uses a Polyvinyl alcohol-acetate resin. Anything non-aqueous should work well though to hopefully prevent degradation. Phenolic, red gum, PVB, etc should all be pretty decent binders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettR Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Try this for insanely bright: KCLO4 70MgAl 41CuCO3 5 Despite the heat produced, the CuCO3 still seems to add a slight blue'ish tinge to the flame that makes it seem extra bright.(and yes, I know it doesn't quite add up to 100, but it does work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
