Potassiumchlorate Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Barium nitrate 60Barium chlorate 25Potassium chlorate 5Shellack 10Stearin 1 I was thinking about something cheaper for my Bengals than the 9:1 mix barium chlorate/shellac. This seems like it would be too little barium chlorate in it, though. 1 part of barium chlorate can "donate" chlorine ions to 1.16 parts of barium nitrate. So a better composition would be: Barium nitrate 45Barium chlorate 40Shellac 15 Or what do you guys say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
