That composition has the potential for spontaneous combustion. Any combination of a nitrate, metal and a chlorate is very unsafe, especially in a damp state. Basically, this is because the metal will partially decompose the nitrate, releasing ammonia gas. The ammonia has the potential to react with the chlorate compound to give ammonium chlorate, which is a very unstable explosive compound.
There are two articles in The best of AFN II on this subject, one titled 'DEATHMIX' and the other 'POTENTIAL DEATHMIXES'. These can be found on pages 175-177.
The composition would be far safer if you substituted perchlorate for the chlorate.
Please everyone take heed of the warnings, I don't want to see anyone getting hurt as a result of mixing such a composition.
Stay safe,
James

nitrates and chlorates at once, but I really had to try cplmacs comp! For the
time being I´ll put a stop to flash comps, I don´t want to strain
my luck. But another thing you posted pulled my interest: The best of AFN II.
Where can I find that? Is it available in the net? Sorry for my ignorance, I
never heard before of that articles. I would be grateful for the link.
Thanks in advance. fizz

What was the comp your two friends used to make the red flash? If you would like you can PM it to me. I would be grateful, thanks.In malta colured flash is used in colured beraq, many different compostions are used in every different factory around malta even with sulfer and chlorate so its very dangerouse ....last year my two friends made the red beraq (red flash) but its too dangerouse, but a few months ago some one told me this red flash comp :
Strontium nitrate 1
Magnesium 1
PVC 0.1
for next year i will make some of this for the feast.......
Take care guys.....

Strontium Nitrate.........30
Strontium Carbonate.....20
Magnesium 250 mesh...35
Parlon........................15
This stuff pops the brightest red flash I've seen yet in a flash bag. Haven't tried confining it, but I will later. I'm sure like all colored flash it will lose color with confinement.

That sounds like a really overfueled / choked flash to me, but then I have seen strangers compositions..

Red bottom shot, god I hope it is not a chlorate formula like the maltese ones I tried!!
Not a bad vid there, but for me chlorate is not an option. It will work but making the holes after filling and a chlorate comp is just asking for some trouble. I will do some tests on these new ones when I get the chance, maybe this friday!
