TP Flash

From PyroGuide

Due to the needless use of fine magnesium, this flash powder is extremely sensitive, even in comparison to other sensitive pyrotechnic compositions. Additionally, since perfectly suitable alternatives exist using only Aluminium, which have the suitable power for almost all, if not all possible legitimate pyrotechnic uses, this composition is one that you have no reason ever to make.

We strongly recommend that you take our advise and stick to Aluminium based flash, or avoid flash altogether.

[edit] TP Flash

TP Flash is a mixture which has been invented by TP. This mixture has a substantially quicker burn rate than customary mixtures of this kind. Therefore a huge bang is already to be heard from an openly lighted amount from 5 grams.

Aluminium (German Dark Pyro)	12,5%
Magnesium (230 Mesh)	22,5%

Method
