flash powder

Flash powder is a highly combustible mixture used to produce a quick, intense burst of light and sound in fireworks. It typically consists of an oxidizer, like potassium perchlorate or potassium nitrate, combined with a fuel such as aluminum powder or magnesium. When ignited, the mixture rapidly releases gases and light energy, creating a loud bang and bright flash. Due to its sensitivity and explosive potential, flash powder should only be handled by trained professionals with proper safety equipment. Its use is regulated because of the safety risks involved.
