Pihko AP#1


Potassiumchlorate

Recommended Posts

Despite my preferences for chlorates I have tested another ammonium perchlorate composition :P

 

Composition type: ammonium perchlorate based organic blue star composition.

 

I don't know very much of the creator, just the name Pihko and that he probably is a Finn.

 

Colour/effect: deep blue star.

 

Incompabilities: chlorates and potassium nitrate.

 

Composition in weight:

 

Ammonium perchlorate 60

Copper(II)oxide 20

Sulfur 17

Red gum 6

 

Total: 103

 

Red gum was used as the binder. I primed it with Hardt Prime #6, but pinball prime will probably also do.

 

I think it is as good as any other AP blue, including the ones with Paris Green that I have tested.

I've been using a ammonium per and copper oxychloride blue. Its a simple formula. I'll dig it up for you if you like. I used it as a star core in a kumaro star. Absolutely stunning in a 4 inch shell.

What do you guys think about using shellac instead of red gum and SGRS as the binder? Shellac burns almost as fast as red gum with AP.
