CHLORATE/ALUMINUM-BASED FLASH POWDER COMPOSITION #8
SOURCE: Allen
COMMENTS:
DANGER/CAUTION
Chlorate flash mixtures decompose faster than perchlorate flash mixtures. Chlorate and sulfur/sulfide mixes are known to be very sensitive to shock, flame, spark, and friction.
Chlorate/realgar mixes are extremely sensitive and highly dangerous, and can explode with little provocation. Even experienced individuals are encouraged to avoid such compositions.
