BORON/POTASSIUM NITRATE IGNITION GRANULES, [BKNO3]
- Stock # C124BKNO3 - EX
Ready To Use Ignition Granules - Combustion temp +5,030°F !!!
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 10 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 ~4 each!

FIRST FIRE / PRIME COMPOSITION - THERMIC Stock # SECFFP - FS
For the dozens of you requesting a reliable prime composition without ordering several chemicals to make it, we have tested and added a mixture of ingredients that when combined with an oxidizer (not supplied) will provide a hot first fire reaction to ensure reliable ignition of the main charge. Either Potassium nitrate or Potassium perchlorate may be used with it depending on the type of composition it will be in contact with (compatibility). Add Potassium perchlorate for priming compositions containing Ammonium perchlorate (or compositions requiring higher combustion heat) and Potassium nitrate for others. Comes with instructions.
Non-Hazmat Shipping By US Mail - No ATFE required to order.
THERMITE IGNITION COMPOSITION - HIGH EXOTHERM - Stock # SECTIC - FS
Modified with a thermoplastic resin, this composition is moistened with denatured alcohol and pressed into pellets approx. 6-7 grams each or pressed into a prime composition (not supplied) for easy ignition and placed on top of (into) thermite or other difficult to ignite compositions. Upon ignition, combustion develops extreme exothermic molten alloy slags and an ash that envelops/covers the reaction keeping the heat where it belongs - at the reaction zone! Very easy to use and inexpensive. One pound will make over 70 6-7 gram pellets - each one will ignite raw thermite! For those who have no prime comp, the addition of 10% (by weight) of Potassium Nitrate will also reduce the ignition point for simple ignition using matches. Hundreds of uses!!

DELAY COMPOSITION - Stock # SECDEL - FS
Delay compositions are designed to combust slowly yet generate enough heat to initiate a particular reaction within a controlled time span. Typical usage includes delay in rocket motors between propellant burn out and manipulation of the recovery system, in tactical smoke and percussion grenades between fuse ignition and combustion of the smoke or propellant charge, various firework applications and virtually dozens of special effects and theatrical uses. Our delay composition is designed to combust with smoke at an approximate rate of .65 millimeters per second with the addition of 25% (by weight) of Potassium Nitrate (not supplied). Faster combustion rates possible by increasing the oxidizer accordingly (2.20 mm/sec @ 50% ox). Easy to use! Simply mix with Potassium Nitrate, moisten with adhesive solution and press into place. Goes a long way! Comes with instructions. Non-hazmat shipping - No ATFE required to order.

36 GAUGE TINNED COPPER IMITATION THEMALITE™ WIRE- Stock # F522/36
Used as a counter-wrap on homemade imitation thermalite for ignition and rapid propagation. Supplying only one wire will increase the burn rate 80% to 90%. Two would create explosive reactions. Before coating string, place a small wire 'cup hook' in a power drill and mount the spools of tinned copper wire and 16-2 cotton *string on a wooden dowell so they will spin off freely. Pinch the two together and use the drill to wrap them together as shown. For longer lengths, walk away from the drill then have someone turn the drill off. Tape both ends to secure them together for use. *I use Mercerized cotton string available in any Walmart sewing section or other sewing supply stores.

E.L.V. NON-CONDUCTIVE™ E-MATCH PRIMER/BOOSTER PYROGEN - Stock # SECELV/NC, ORM-D shipping
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™ Hydra Arc™, Metallic H3™, BoroMag 5000°F™, BoroZirconium 8000°F™, or Mag/Ti Tracer™ 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 OVER 500 IGNITERS! Do you need smaller igniters for small black powder type motors? Use the Conductive ELV™ primer (listed below) on 26 gauge twin lead wire with the final coat of NC or CA lacquer! Works great alone!

ROSIN CORE ELECTRONICS SOLDER - LARGE 1 LB ROLLS
Large 1lb rolls lead based solder in two diameters for most any soldering job. Necessary in
combination with Ruby Fluid™ Flux (above). Can also be used
for plumbing and other soldering jobs.Note; Soldering Nichrome wire usually requires the use of silver base solder. However, if you liberally moisten the wire and substrate with Ruby Fluid and solder while wet, it works GREAT! Ruby Fluid promotes the flow and bonding of the solder melt. This is the solder we use to make our igniter chipboards.

For those of you who wish to make their own electric match chips such as
those listed above, we have the manual for you. Written by Gary W.
Purrington, this 8 1/2" X 11", 50+ page professionally bound book is loaded with
illustrations, black & white and full color photos and step by step
instructions showing every detail of the manufacturing process to make
thousands of chips in your spare time, all at a fraction of the cost of
commercial chips. Photographic details show the construction of low cost tooling
such as a winding frame, chipboards and winding, soldering and tinning the
boards, cutting into chips, soldering the leads and finishing the igniters by
dipping in pyrotechnic match pyrogen - formulations included. Charts are also
included with information on various resistance wire, firing leads, various
solders and fluxes and soldering techniques. Make up to 128 chips per strip of
chipboard 3/4" wide X 6" long in about twenty minutes. As a bonus, we
have included information and detailed photos of an inexpensive protable firing
system you can easily make that will fire any electric match at most any
practical distance - including conductive slurry matches containing no
bridge-wire! MUCH MORE!
ELECTRIC IGNITER SQUIBS & PUROGENS - Stock #TRMATCH
Make 50 to 75 electric igniters per hour in your spare time for as little as 3 cents each! Why pay over $1.00 each for commercial igniters that also require a federal explosives permit to purchase? We have combined 3 of our information packets (previously selling for $10.00 each) into one informative booklet that gives detailed information and 12 formulae for electric match pyrogens of all types including thermic and conductive varieties. Learn how to mass produce soldered nichrome or tin/copper elements, how to check for proper resistance and make igniters that will fire reliably with a single AA battery for special purpose use such as remote control device activation in RC airplanes or other remote applications. Also includes a formulation and information on making homemade imitation thermalite! Professionally bound, fully illustrated 8 1/2 X 11 - 30 page book.

COPPER CLAD FIBERGLAS CHIPBOARD - 1 OZ COPPER COATING ON BOTH SIDES
This is the same material used for constructing printed electronics/computer
circuit boards. It comes in various thickness supplied here for use in making
conductive slurry "strip igniters" as well as electric match head
"chips" as explained in the book "Match Chip construction &
low cost firing systems" listed above. For chips we supply the material in
two thickness for a variety of match firing resistance measurements. The most
commonly used of the two is the 1/32". The 1/16" is used for slightly
higher resistance and/or routing the edge slightly before wire wrapping to make
chips similar to those incorporated in the construction of the Atlas® Match.
Each 6" X 6" board will make 800 to 1024 igniter chips as per the
instructions in the (optional) book listed above.

NICHROME (NICKEL CHORMIUM) NON-PYROTECHNIC FLASH POT IGNITERS - 6 FT
These wire igniters are made from non-insulated Nichrome
resistance wire for use in AC stage effects flash pots for ignition of
non-concussion type mixtures. The wire, passed through the composition, burns
completely with a snap when power from 120 volt AC outlet is applied to both
ends operated through a switch. We supply this wire in a 6 ft continuous
length. Cut and use only what you need - less waste!

MAGNET WIRE - 26 & 28 AWG VARNISH INSULATED
Besides the obvious applications, this fine varnish insulated wire is solderable without removing the varnish, and 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™. 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.

COPEL (NICKEL COPPER) RESISTANCE WIRE - IGNITER BRIDGEWIRE
This ultra fine Advance bare resistance wire has heating properties similar
to Nichrome yet slightly lower resistance with one major difference - it is
much easier to solder than Nichrome! 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".
