       Ready To Use Ignition Granules             

Boron/Potassium Nitrate Ignition Granules, 10-60 mesh [BKNO3] - Stock # C124BKNO3 - shipping class 1.3C explosive
Boron, used extensively in thermic ignition compositions because of its extremely high heat of combustion, is combined with potassium nitrate (75%) and Ethyl Cellulose (1%) granulated into a flowable ignition mixture with a heat of reaction much higher than most any other ignition prime. It is used in many military devices, automotive gas air bag cartridges and other industrial uses. This commercially produced igniter composition is 24% Boron for reliable ignition of most any pyrotechnic mixture. With boron prices being what they are, you cannot make it yourself at a lower cost than this, nor will you find it anywhere else at any price! Easy to use, simply press the granules into place or they can be mixed with nitrocellulose lacquer and applied. One pound goes a long way! Weight wise, there is 7000 grains in a pound. It takes as little as 5 grains per device for ignition. That means you will be able to reliably prime up to 1400 devices per pound of BKNO3! Reliable ignition for less than 2¢ each! 

While supply lasts. . . . .   This is for will-call only! It must be picked up at our location. We do not ship this item. Shipping class 1.3C explosive.

CYCLONE™ RC ELECTRIC MATCH PRODUCTION SET - LOW VOLTAGE   Stock # KT500 - ORM-D
Similar in construction to the famous Davey Fire match but designed to produce results unequaled anywhere, our Cyclone™ RC Electric match ignites flawlessly on as little as 1.5 volts - .5 amperes (single alkaline AA battery) and combusts for 1-2 seconds at over 2000° F emitting lots of sparks and molten slag to ignite stubborn compositions or devices. Very impressive! The kit comes with everything needed (less solder, soldering iron and NC lacquer for final coat) to produce 50 igniters with 12” leads. Very easy, simply solder element “chip” to lead, mix pre-measured pyrogen and dip igniter followed by an (optional but reommended) final dip in NC lacquer sealant. Excellent for remote control use! Average resistance is 1.3 ohms. Non explosive ignition! Non-hazmat shipping. No ATFE required to order! LOW VOLTAGE RC MATCH SET   Colorfully packaged for retail sales.

  NEW HYDRA-ARC™ SECONDARY ELECTRIC MATCH PYROGEN  Stock # SECHYDRA - ORM-D
Firefox Hydra-Arc® Secondary Pyrogen was designed to be used as a secondary pyrogen coated over the primer itself. It does not take the place of the primer! It must be coated over it. Upon combustion, it produces a loud crackle, a shower of hot molten branching sparks and white hot temperatures capable of igniting compositions and devices that have higher than usual ignition points. Normal commercial igniters are not capable of such high temperatures and ignition properties. Each bottle comes with complete instructions and enough primer and binder to make up to 400 igniters (allowing for 10-15% as waste). These are as fun to watch burn as they are to be put to work!! Very impressive! Non-hazmat shipping. No ATFE required to order! Colorfully packaged for retail sales.

$68.00/kit  (1lb/ kit)      Nothing like this kit anywhere at any price!

LIQUID ELEMENT™ CONDUCTIVE ELECTRIC MATCH PRIMER/PYROGEN  Stock # SECPLEL - ORM-D
Now you can make electric igniters that require NO SOLDERING OF BRIDGEWIRES TO LEADS yet will ignite reliably using as little as a 9 volt "transistor" battery up to and including 12 volt automotive and every DC voltage in between! Simply strip 3/16" of insulation from lead wires and dip into the primer slurry - allow to dry and use as is or dip them again in your favorite match composition/pyrogen. Make 50 to 100 igniters per hour for as little as 5 cents each - with no soldering! Our procedure allows you to use your lead wires over and over saving you money and time. Each bottle comes with complete instructions and enough primer and binder to make up to 500 igniters (allowing for 10-15% as waste). Liquid Element™ acts as both primer/booster and pyrogen! Basically foolproof! This is our most popular selling pyrogen kit for over 18 years!!

ORIGINAL BLEND ELECTRIC SQUIB AND IGNITER PYROGEN  Stock # SECSQUIB - 1/2oz BOTTLE - ORM-D
Make your own electric igniters for a few pennies each using our pyrogen and any number of DC powered heating elements. Simply solder nichrome or Copel wire or Firefox igniter "chips" to 22 or 24 gauge twin lead wire, dip in the pyrogen and use. The pyrogen comes in 1/2 oz bottles that you mix a small amount of Acetone to make a thick batter for dipping - enough for approx 400 igniters. Comes with instructions. Why pay over $1.00 each for commercial igniters?! We recommend our Firefox Custom Chips (Stock# F515F instead of the Davey Clones 51 awg) or homemade elements using resistance wire diameters between 38 and 47 awg for best ignition. Non-hazmat shipping - No ATFE required to order.

E.L.V. NON-CONDUCTIVE ELECTRIC MATCH PYROGEN™  Stock # SECELV/NC - ORM-D
Designed to be used as the primer/ booster to initate the main pyrogen (secondary, which is coated over it), the ELV primers ignite easily at lower temperatures and combust (rather than pop) at a pre-determined rate at very high temperature to reliably ignite other pyrogens and metal mixtures used as an overcoat (optional). Using zirconium and other exotic metals, we have designed two different types - conductive and non-conductive. The conductive type requires no bridge-wire so there is no soldering and ignites with as little as a 9 volt transistor battery. Simply strip 3/8" of insulation from leads, dip the tip 1/8" into the primer, dry and dip it again in a pyrogen of your own making or use our Original Blend™, Pyromag Magnum™ or Metallic H3™ for results that will have other match-makers drooling at their sight! The non-conductive type is applied to the element wire (bridge-wire) only followed by an overcoat of another high energy pyrogen. It will ignite using as little as a AA (1.5 volt) battery. Using these primers, positive, inexpensive electric ignition is easily obtained! Each type comes with enough primer to make several hundred igniters (up to 500). Do you need smaller igniters for small black powder type motors? Use the conductive ELV primer alone on 26 gauge twin lead wire with the final coat of NC or CA lacquer! Works great alone!  Non-hazmat shipping- No ATFE required to order.

18.75/kit        25 COUNT ELECTRIC MATCH (e-match) BLANKS WITH 2 ft  LEADS- 47 awg BRIDGEWIRES

ELECTRIC IGNITER HEADS - SOLDERED INNERT BRIDGEWIRE CHIPS
These chips are duplicate designs of the famous DaveyFire® match, which you solder to your leads. No bridgewires to solder, they are already soldered in the small end of the chip. The Davey Clones contain a 51 gauge element for low firing amps and multiple low voltage firing and the Firefox Custom chips contain a 47 gauge element for low voltage to heavy duty use (higher firing amps) and/or use with higher ignition point pyrogens. Packaged 100 chips per packet. Note: strip off 1/8" of insulation from leads, dip in Ruby Fluid® flux, insert the large end of chip between copper leads, tin your pencil point soldering tip and aply to the copper lead. Repeat for the other side of chip. Solder the leads to the wide end of the chip only when using the Davey Clones and the non-colored end using the Firefox Custom (color end is the element wire/dip end as shown below).

Coating Procedure; leadwires soldered to non-colored end of Firefox Custom chip, end of chip dipped in primer (in this case ELV Non-Conductive Primer™), and a final optional coat of Pyromag™. Primer and secondary pyrogens should be thinned to the viscosity of housepaint for proper coating.Thin coats only. Do not put too much on the chip. It is not necessary, will be wasted and may affect proper match functioning.

	Davey Clone - 51 gauge (.00088" dia) - 675 ohms/ft, approx 0.976 amps firing current Because of the superfine element (51 awg) we suggest using a high energy primer such as Firefox Quasar Match Prime™ for reliable ignition. Such a fine element requires a very sensitive ignition primer for ignition reliability	F515D   $19.00/100 2 oz/100
	Firefox Custom - 47 gauge (.0014" dia) - 344.4 ohms/ft, approx 1.38 amps firing current (Use with any of our non conductive kits listed herein) The Firefox Custom Chips are the recommended chip for all of our non-conductive pyrogens and any homemade pyrogen	F515F   $19.00/100 2 oz/100

MAGNET WIRE - 26 & 28 AWG VARNISH INSULATED

Besides the obvious applications, this fine varnish insulated wire is used by special effects pyrotechnictions to make electric squibs for body/ bullet hits and other applications. The fine wire bends easily to form any shape and is easily concealed in hemlines, wall cracks, etc.. Electric match chips are easily attached by twisting two lengths magnet wire together. The two leads are dipped 1/8" into molten solder to tin them and burn the insulation from the wiree at the same time. The match chip is then soldered to them by tinning the pencil point tip and applying it to the magnet wire contacting the chip. This is repeated on the other side as well. The chip is then dipped in pyrogen or a small explosive slurry for bullet hit/blood bladder activation. Can be reused many times by cutting the fired chip off and replacing it or they may be used as an electric match by cleaning the chip and dipping in Firefox Liquid Element™ (see write up on Liquid Element™ and other pyrogens located in ignition section of catalog). Many similar applications! Price per 50' roll.

   NICHROME (NICKEL CHROMIUM) IGNITION & HEATING ELEMENT WIRE
Bare nickel chromium wire used for making electric squib/igniters, heating elements or for heat cutting wire as used in arrow fletching, cutting saran wrap & plastic film, etc. Uses AC & DC power sources. Can be easily soldered by using the Ruby fluid® liquid flux listed in the wire section of the catalog and silver based solder (not lead based). The smaller the diameter, the higher the resistance and the less power it takes to heat red hot and burn through. 30 ga or finer is used for electric igniters. 45 guage or finer is used to make electric match "chips" as explained in our book "Electric igniter chip construction & low cost portable firing systems" listed above.

Lead based solder may be used with Copel resistance wire, however, silver based solder is also recommended here. Excellent for use as igniter bridge-wire - simple and rapid production! Sold in 10 ft coils per size, continuous lengths for larger jobs. 45 guage or finer is used to make electric match "chips" as explained in our book "Electric Igniter Chip Construction & Low cost portable firing systems".

SOLUTIONS FOR MIXING & BINDING PYROGENS, SEALANTS FOR PROTECTION & COATINGS FOR FUSE AND IGNITERCORD

Nitrocellulose/Polyester Fuse Coating, NC/PE thick butyrate in various colors (see stock #'s for corresponding color),    Ship ORM-D, Non-Hazmat

Looking for a better safety fuse coating agent for use with our fuse machines, Firefox researched, experimented and came up with solutions to a couple of potential problems that standard Nitrocellulose lacquer has when coated on safety fuse. As most of us have experienced, NC lacquer can burn off ahead of the burning fuse powder core making it dangerously liabel. I have had premature device ignition caused by the flaming lacquer before the burning fuse core actually made contact with the primary composition, thus effectively eliminating the essential delay. Secondly, some NC lacquers become brittle in prolonged storage. This is most likely caused by insufficient or a complete lack of a stabilizer added to the lacquer. Aging brittle fuse will crack when bent allowing moisture in and ignition failure, especially when using in moist atmospheres or underwater. The answer is our field tested Nitrocellulose/Polyester Fuse Coating. We start with a high solids loadings NC lacquer, blend in a soluble polyester resin which improves flexability, aging and effectively reduces lacquer burnoff. Then a nitro group stabilizer is added to gaurd against decomposition and increase shelf life almost indefinately. This NC/PE lacquer is viscous and dries rapidly so it only has time to soak into the cotton fibers of the fuse and not the powder core. Can also be used to coat blackmatch, quickmatch, homemade Thermolite Ignitercord, as an electric match overcoat and similar useage.
