Abstract
Boron-containing, green light emitting pyrotechnic compositions that advantageously do not include barium, perchlorate or chlorinated organic compounds.
Claims13
A green light emitting pyrotechnic composition comprising:
- a quantity of boron carbide;
- a quantity of oxidizer which is substantially 83 wt % of the total composition;
- and
- a quantity of binder which is substantially 7 wt % of the total composition.
1 more element
A green light emitting pyrotechnic composition comprising:
- a quantity of a boron mixture including amorphous boron and crystalline boron;
- a quantity of oxidizer;
- and
- a quantity of binder.
1 more element
A green light emitting pyrotechnic comprising:
- an igniter;
- and
- a quantity of boron carbide mixed with a quantity of amorphous boron to form a mixture, such that upon ignition of the igniter the mixture burns and emits green light.
