Abstract

AbstractA new blue strobe pyrotechnic composition based on aminoguanidinium nitrate (AGN) is described. Alternative compositions from the literature that contain either tetramethylammonium nitrate or guanidinium nitrate are compared to the new AGN composition. Pyrotechnic compositions were processed into 13 mm pellets and 5 mm rods. Strobe frequency, linear burning rate, chromaticity coordinates and color purity (of the flash reaction), sensitivity to mechanical stimulii, DTA curves, humidity tests, high speed camera footage are reported and discussed. Finally a discussion of the strobe reaction mechanism has been included.
