Pyrotechnic & Explosive Chemicals

The fireworks and explosives manufacturing sectors use pyrotechnic and explosive chemicals.

A pyrotechnic composition is a substance designed to give effects of Heat, Light, Sound, Gas, Smoke and combinations of all these arising out of self-sustaining chemical reactions which are exothermic in nature. These substances do not rely on oxygen as an external source of combustion.

Chemicals play a vital role in fireworks by imparting them with properties such as Colour, Smoke, Light, gas, Noise, heat etc. SNDB Pyrotechnic & Explosive Chemicals find many applications in a wide array of Civilian and Military systems all across the globe. These substances mix to create a mixture that are capable of burst into light, color, air, and sound, such as in many types of fireworks.

Chemicals such as Aluminium Powder, Sulphur, Barium Nitrate/Potassium Nitrate (oxidising agents) are used in the manufacturing of fireworks. While the use of Potassium Nitrate goes into Noise Making crackers, Barium Nitrate is for imparting colour to the fireworks.

The way that pyrotechnics and explosives burn is where they diverge. Deflagration, or layer-by-layer burning in proximity to explosives, is how pyrotechnics works. This type of combustion results in immediate explosion.

Explosives are reactive substances that contain a great potential for energy and can produce an explosion if released suddenly. SNDB offers some of the chemicals that go into the manufacturing of solid propellants and explosives.

We supply chemicals like Nitric Acid, Sodium Nitrate, Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Chlorate, Formaldehyde etc to companies all over the world.
