SSHPyro Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I want to add some titanium to my flash powder to give it a nice effect, will adding TI to 70/30 flash make it more sensitive at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmjlab Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 That depends on a lot of factors. Some key considerations are that Titanium is considered a pyrophoricity risk at sub ~325 mesh / 45 microns Titanium can increase friction sensitivity (similar to how glass is added to safety match strike pads, grit is added to adult snappits and torpedoes, grit is added to some exploding air gun targets, etc - it increases friction). A lot of people add it as the last step prior to closing the bottom shots container and allow it to mix from handling. Some people glue it inside the bottom shots core then add the flash and close it up. The point being to avoid handling flash with Titanium im it, to the greatest extent possible, therefore decreasing the likelihood of an accident related to friction or other ignition hazard.

Mumbles Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Titanium mixed with the flash will increase its sensitivity. As cmjlab said, it's abrasive and will make flash more sensitive to friction and impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
