ABSTRACT: Pyrotechnics produce irritating and obscuring smoke. High-nitrogen materials have been investigated for use in pyrotechnic compositions to reduce smoke production. Compositions containing dihydrazino-tetrazine have been found to produce brilliantly colored flames with little or no smoke or ash production. The preparation of dihydrazino-tetrazine is also discussed.
Keywords: low smoke pyrotechnics, high-nitrogen energetic materials, dihydrazino-tetrazine
