Wow that was fast!

Does the copper oxide help in permanganate flash powders too?

[strontiumperoxide]

Anyone that looks fo phosporous shall buy pure Red P instead of dealing with matches. that will give you better results!

also try to add some sulfur and some Iron oxide to catalyse the reaction.

[bustincapz]

how to buy pure red P ?

[iwasapenny]

If you buy red phosphorus you will have the pork right up your ass and the DEA will be marching you off to court for possession of a necessary precursor for manufacture of methamphetamines. Not a good thing ESPECIALLY if you have ANY chemistry supplies, just a beaker can be incredibly incriminating nowadays.

bustincapz- I can vouche for what iwasapenny is saying-red phosphorous is one of the most watched chems in the country. EVER purchase IS RECORDED. Possibly the only thing in the entire world that it would be a worse idea to acquire is acetic anhydride-and that is used to make heroin from morphine (and-incidentally-in a reaction to make RDX (in our hobby).

@Eynigma That's "EVERY", not "EVER"-dumbass.

That is one dirty sink yaknow :P

nice explosion

[strontiumperoxide]

Yes it's look like hell :O but after a few synthetis your "lab" will look like that. thanks anyway mate! :)

[antiswattt]

where did you get your chlorate from? matches?

[SoronII]

Match heads are good for phosphorus, I use them all the time to make my fireworks ^^

Mix powdered magnesium and powdered aluminium with a match box worth of phosphorus and stick it in a stick, they're like mini fireworks, really good fro burning things :P

Now I've recently come up with a mixture of red phosphorus, aluminium powder and pepper, I'm not really sure what the reaction is with pepper but the pepper burns vigorously :O

[strontiumperoxide]

Matchheads contains just glasspowder,sulfur and some KClO3. it's the matchbox sides that contains red P. dissolve them in acetone and you're done.

[antiswattt]

plz listen to me and strontium!! THERES NOT!! NOTTT RED PHOSPHORUS IN MATCH HEADS!! THERE BINDER,KCLO3 AND GLASSPOWDER AND A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SULFUR IN!! not red phosphorus... theres red phosphorus on the strikers of a match box .. -.-'

[strontiumperoxide]

Umm no i bought it? :P

[SoronII]

If you strip the red upon the match heads off the powder is shock sensitive when mixed with pure KClO, that I believe would be the armstrongs mixture which is red P. with KClO.

[strontiumperoxide]

the strikers is Phosporus and starch(binder) dissolve them in acetone and you get red phosporus. the matchheads are just some Glasspowder, KClO3 and a fuel.

[SoronII]

I just did a wiki, it says there is red phosphorus on the heads of matches.

Anyways I powdered the striker and took the red stuff, it doesn't react at all :I

[SoronII]

Of course there's not enough of the striker and i've been using acetone I distilled from nail polish remover.

[SoronII]

And most probably you're right about the KClO3 in strike anywhere matches.

[SoronII]

Hah ^^

I strike anywhere matches and safety matches are different, I've been using strike anywhere matches which have pinkish redish head of phosphorus ^^. And of course here I use alot of matches with white heads meaning they use full phosphorus on the head.

[strontiumperoxide]

The Nailpolish stuff is not certain Acetone, buy real Acetone instead

[SoronII]

I can't because I don't have anywhere to buy it from :<

[strontiumperoxide]

oh sure you have! :) go to a apotecary or chemist :)

[SoronII]

There's no chemical supply retailers anywhere in this country <_<

(that would be why would Kuwait bother?)

[strontiumperoxide]

Walmart?
