Safety of Copper/Brass Screens With Chlorate Compositions
In an experiment, when a mixture of potassium n chlorate was doped with copper chlorate, and then ground with purified sulfur, the mixture detonated spontaneously after being let stand undisturbed on a shelf for only thirty minutes!
The doctrine of using brass, bronze or copper screens, tools and jigs for pyrotechnic mixing and loading for non-sparking properties certainly needs to be reexamined in light of findings by the experiment.
This document contains several experiments and their conclusions and other theories related to Copper/Brass Screens with Chlorate Compositions.
