Aluminum Bright Pyro 80

Aluminum Bright Pyro 80
Type: Bright flake aluminum powder
Particle Size: ~80 µm average (coarse flake)
Appearance: Silvery, metallic flake powder
Purity: ≥99% Aluminum (Al)

Description:
Aluminum Bright Pyro 80 is a coarse, bright flake aluminum powder designed specifically for pyrotechnic and energetic material applications. Its large particle size and high reflectivity make it ideal for brilliant flashes, white sparks, and aerial shell effects. This type of aluminum exhibits high reactivity, especially in combination with strong oxidizers.

Applications:

Pyrotechnics & Fireworks

• Used in flash powders for producing intense white flashes and sound effects

• Common in report compositions (e.g. salutes, bottom shots, maroons)

• Produces white trailing sparks when used in stars or comets

• Suitable for thermic effects and metal-enhanced flame coloration

Thermite & Energetics

• Can be blended with oxides (e.g., Fe203, CuO) for high-heat reactions

• Used in metal-based delay compositions and fuse igniters

Key Properties:

• High brightness and flake structure for strong visual effect

• Large particle size (~80 µm) reduces airborne dust risk compared to fine grades

• Good balance between reactivity and handling safety

• Insoluble in water; stable under dry storage

Handling & Safety:

• Flammable metal powder – avoid sparks, flames, and static discharge

• Do not mix with oxidizers unless under controlled conditions

• Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry environment

• Handle with spark-proof tools and grounding precautions

Packaging Sizes:
Available in 100 g, 250 g and 1 kg sealed bags.
