PYROTECHNICS
Hello /sci/. Do you know any good substitute of dichromates to be used in slow burning gasless or low-gas pyrotechnics compositions? I had some luck with molybdates, but the results were inconsistent. I would like to try ferrates but I gues they have short shelf life. Permanganate with antimony is fine, but I don't have access to antimony powder and I have to mill it myself. Any other common and less common oxides gave relatively short delay times and I need at least 0.5s.
