Guanidine Nitrate CH₅N₃·HNO₃

Premium Guanidine Nitrate (CH₅N₃·HNO₃) – The High-Energy, Low-Smoke Oxidizer for Advanced Pyrotechnics & Specialty Effects

Push the boundaries of modern pyrotechnics with high-purity Guanidine Nitrate – the powerful, nitrogen-rich oxidizer and fuel that's a favorite in low-signature, high-performance compositions, delivering clean-burning energy, reduced smoke, and exceptional gas production for rockets, propellants, and specialty fireworks.

This fine, white to off-white crystalline powder (typically 98–99%+ pure) combines ~44% available oxygen with high nitrogen content (~45% N), producing voluminous, hot gases with minimal visible smoke and residue — ideal for low-visibility, high-thrust, or experimental applications where clean combustion and high energy density matter most.

Key Advantages:

• Low-smoke & high-gas output — Generates massive pressure and thrust with dramatically reduced visible plume compared to traditional nitrate/sulfur mixes
• Dual oxidizer/fuel role — Self-oxidizing nature allows high-energy, low-residue burns in propellant and gas-generator formulas
• High thermal stability — Resists premature decomposition; excellent for hot, sustained combustion without excessive flame temperature
• Clean & efficient — Produces primarily nitrogen, water, and CO₂ — minimal ash, slag, or signature
• Consistent quality — Fine particle size for uniform mixing, low moisture, and reliable performance in demanding mixes

Perfect For:

• Rocket propellants & gas generators — Key ingredient in composite rocket motors, model rocketry boosters, and high-thrust, low-smoke propellants
• Low-signature fireworks — Enables cleaner-burning stars, fountains, and aerial effects with reduced smoke trails
• Specialty burst & driver charges — Powers high-pressure bursts, gerbs, or wheel drivers with controlled, smokeless energy
• Experimental & military-style compositions — Used in gas-generator mixes, ejection charges, or low-observability pyrotechnics
• Hybrid & advanced formulas — Pairs with ammonium perchlorate, aluminum, binders (e.g., HTPB), or other nitrates for high-performance custom propellants
• Whistle & strobe enhancements — Adds energy and burn control in select high-nitrogen whistle or strobe bases

A precise proportion (often 30–70% in propellant mixes or as a partial oxidizer replacement) unleashes massive, clean power — screen-mix carefully, granulate if needed, dry thoroughly, and achieve high-energy results with minimal visual signature.

Critical Safety Note: Guanidine nitrate is a strong oxidizer and energetic material — mixtures with fuels (especially metals, organics, or perchlorates) are highly flammable, can be friction/impact sensitive, and may detonate under confinement or shock. It is moderately toxic if ingested/inhaled and can decompose exothermically if overheated. Handle with extreme caution: use non-sparking tools, tiny test batches only, full PPE (gloves, goggles, respirator), work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, avoid static/heat/sparks, store cool/dry/separated from combustibles and reducing agents, and strictly follow MSDS, pyro literature, and all local/national regulations (guanidine nitrate is regulated as an explosive precursor in many jurisdictions). This material is not for beginners — professional knowledge and licensing may be required.
