Common chemicals used in the manufacture of fireworks Ammonium perchlorate aluminumBlue flame: copper carbonate, copper sulfate, or copper oxide Barium chlorate antimony sulfideRed flame: strontium nitrate or strontium carbonate Barium nitrate charcoalWhite flame: magnesium or aluminum Potassium chlorate magnesiumYellow flame: sodium oxalate or cryolite (Na 3 AlF 6 ) Potassium nitrate sulfurGreen flame: barium nitrate or barium chlorate Potassium perchlorate titaniumWhite smoke: potassium nitrate plus sulfur Strontium nitrateColored smoke: potassium chlorate and sulfur, plus organic dye Whistling noise: potassium benzoate or sodium salicylate White sparks: aluminum, magnesium, or titanium Gold sparks: iron filings or charcoal Almost any combination of an oxidizer and a fuel may be used along with the compounds needed to produce a desired special effect.
