Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of pyrotechnic mixtures or compositions producing colored fireworks.
- Example 10 of this patent describes a composition containing 2% cobalt acetylacetonate which, in this case, is only used as a catalyst or combustion regulator, but does not produce any coloring effect, if only due to its concentration too low to exercise such a coloring function.
- compositions are not entirely satisfactory in practice, because their flame color remains impure and they do not have a sufficient burning rate, which is very important in particular in the production of fireworks stars for bombs and candles or other colored devices.
- potassium perchlorate, potassium and barium chlorates give very washed-out colors, on the other hand ammonium perchlorate gives a slightly purer color. But for the combustion speed to be sufficient, we have to add potassium perchlorate which strongly denatures the color. This phenomenon is particularly observed in the case of pyrotechnic compositions of blue color, based on copper.
- the object of the present invention is precisely to remedy this drawback.
- compositions which are the subject of the present invention have made it possible, by choosing a very specific metal derivative, namely acetylacetonate, to activate the combustion of the mixtures while retaining excellent color purity in the flame.
- the first constituent of the composition of the invention is the oxidant which will advantageously be chosen from chlorates and perchlorates of alkali, alkaline-earth or even ammonium metals. We particularly prefer to use ammonium perchlorate which does not cause any disturbance in the color of the flame.
- this oxidant provides chlorine which improves the color of the flame, in particular in pyrotechnic compositions based on copper, strontium or barium.
- a halogen promoter in particular a chlorine or bromine promoter.
- the compositions according to the invention may thus contain up to approximately 5% of such a halogen promoter, for example consisting of chlorinated inorganic or organic derivatives.
- the second constituent of the composition according to the invention is the reducing agent which will generally be constituted by an organic reducing agent from the family of oses such as sorbitol, polyoxyolefins such as polyethylene glycol, as well as natural or synthetic resins.
- a binder such as a gum or a resin.
- the reducing agent consists of a resin, the latter can simultaneously play the role of reducing agent and binder.
- the third essential constituent of the pyrotechnic compositions according to the invention is metallic acetylacetonate which can for example be obtained by reaction of metals, hydroxides or metallic salts, on acetylacetone.
- the reducing couple + metallic acetylacetonate is involved in the pyrotechnic compositions of the invention at a level of 10 to 40% by weight. However, a minimum metal acetylacetonate content of approximately 3% by weight will always be maintained.
- the AAC, sublimable product gives a high flame, without leaving residues, which constitutes a determining advantage in the case of torches and lances, where the slag deteriorates the color .
- the gases are therefore rich in flame dye.
- compositions for flames Ammonium perchlorate 70% Glucose 25% Copper acetylacetonate 5%
- This latter type of composition has, as mentioned above, the advantage of not smoking and of not leaving residues.
- the present invention cannot be limited to the particular embodiments described, of which it is perfectly possible to imagine numerous variant embodiments.

Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des mélanges ou compositions pyrotechniques produisant des artifices colorés.The present invention relates to the field of pyrotechnic mixtures or compositions producing colored fireworks.
L'art antérieur peut être illustré par le document US-A-3 214 304, qui décrit des compositions destinées à être appliquées en tant que matériau propulsif.The prior art can be illustrated by document US-A-3,214,304, which describes compositions intended to be applied as a propellant.
L'exemple 10 de ce brevet décrit une composition contenant 2% d'acétylacétonate de cobalt qui, en l'espèce, est uniquement utilisé en tant que catalyseur ou régulateur de combustion, mais ne produit aucun effet colorant, ne serait-ce qu'en raison de sa concentration trop faible pour exercer une telle fonction colorante.Example 10 of this patent describes a composition containing 2% cobalt acetylacetonate which, in this case, is only used as a catalyst or combustion regulator, but does not produce any coloring effect, if only due to its concentration too low to exercise such a coloring function.
Jusqu'à présent, il a été impossible de parfaitement concilier les deux paramètres essentiels de ce type de compositions pyrotechniques, à savoir la vivacité de la combustion et la pureté de la couleur.Until now, it has been impossible to perfectly reconcile the two essential parameters of this type of pyrotechnic composition, namely the liveliness of the combustion and the purity of the color.
Les mélanges habituellement utilisés pour conduire par exemple à des compositions bleues font intervenir :
- 1°) un oxydant choisi parmi les chlorates de potassium et de baryum, le perchlorate de potassium ou le perchlorate d'ammonium ou le mélange de ces deux derniers sels ;
- 2°) un réducteur comme le soufre, des résines naturelles ou synthétiques, utilisées également comme liant ;
- 3°) des composés du cuivre tels que le cuivre en poudre, les oxydes, des sels comme le sulfate ammoniacal, le chlorure, l'oxychlorure, l'acétoarseniate, le sulfure, etc... ;
- 4°) un "promoteur" de couleur, en général un dérivé chloré tel que des chlorures minéraux ou des molécules organiques chlorées ;
- 5°) un liant (gomme ou résine).
- 1) an oxidant chosen from potassium and barium chlorates, potassium perchlorate or ammonium perchlorate or the mixture of these last two salts;
- 2) a reducing agent such as sulfur, natural or synthetic resins, also used as a binder;
- 3) copper compounds such as copper powder, oxides, salts such as ammoniacal sulfate, chloride, oxychloride, acetoarsenate, sulfide, etc ...;
- 4) a color "promoter", in general a chlorinated derivative such as mineral chlorides or chlorinated organic molecules;
- 5) a binder (gum or resin).
De telles compositions ne donnent pas entière satisfaction dans la pratique, car leur couleur de flamme reste impure et elles ne présentent pas une vitesse de combustion suffisante, laquelle est très importante en particulier dans la production d'étoiles d'artifices pour bombes et chandelles ou autres artifices colorés.Such compositions are not entirely satisfactory in practice, because their flame color remains impure and they do not have a sufficient burning rate, which is very important in particular in the production of fireworks stars for bombs and candles or other colored devices.
Si, dans ce type de compositions précité, on élimine le soufre, les sulfates ou les sulfures susceptibles de présenter certains dangers en présence des chlorates et perchlorate, l'obtention de couleurs franches conduit à des compositions trop lentes pour être utilisées dans la fabrication d'artifices colorés.If, in this type of aforementioned compositions, sulfur, sulphates or sulphides which are liable to present certain dangers in the presence of chlorates are eliminated and perchlorate, obtaining frank colors leads to compositions that are too slow to be used in the manufacture of colored fireworks.
Parmi les oxydants cités compte tenu de ces restrictions, le perchlorate de potassium, les chlorates de potassium et de baryum donnent des couleurs très délavées, par contre le perchlorate d'ammonium donne une couleur légèrement plus pure. Mais pour que la vitesse de combustion soit suffisante, on est obligé de lui adjoindre du perchlorate de potassium qui dénature fortement la couleur. Ce phénomène est en particulier observé dans le cas de compositions pyrotechniques de couleur bleue, à base de cuivre.Among the oxidants mentioned taking into account these restrictions, potassium perchlorate, potassium and barium chlorates give very washed-out colors, on the other hand ammonium perchlorate gives a slightly purer color. But for the combustion speed to be sufficient, we have to add potassium perchlorate which strongly denatures the color. This phenomenon is particularly observed in the case of pyrotechnic compositions of blue color, based on copper.
La présente invention a précisément eu pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient.The object of the present invention is precisely to remedy this drawback.
Les compositions, objet de la présente invention, ont permis, en choisissant un dérivé métallique très particulier, à savoir l'acétylacétonate, d'activer la combustion des mélanges tout en conservant à la flamme une excellente pureté de couleur.The compositions which are the subject of the present invention have made it possible, by choosing a very specific metal derivative, namely acetylacetonate, to activate the combustion of the mixtures while retaining excellent color purity in the flame.
Selon la caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, la composition pyrotechnique comprend :
- un oxydant,
- un réducteur organique de la famille des oses tels que le sorbitol, des polyoxyoléfines telles que le polyéthylène-glycol, ainsi que des résines naturelles ou synthétiques,
- un acétylacétonate métallique dont le métal est choisi parmi le cuivre, le molybdène, le strontium, le baryum, le calcium, le lanthane et le zirconium, ledit acétylacétonate métallique étant présent à une teneur minimale d'environ 3% en poids de la composition totale.
- an oxidant,
- an organic reducing agent from the ose family such as sorbitol, polyoxyolefins such as polyethylene glycol, as well as natural or synthetic resins,
- a metallic acetylacetonate, the metal of which is chosen from copper, molybdenum, strontium, barium, calcium, lanthanum and zirconium, said metallic acetylacetonate being present at a minimum content of approximately 3% by weight of the total composition .
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'objet de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description faite ci-après, notamment en s'appuyant sur quelques exemples particuliers donnés à simple titre d'illustration.Other characteristics and advantages of the subject of the invention will appear on reading the description made below, in particular by relying on a few specific examples given by way of illustration.
Le premier constituant de la composition de l'invention est l'oxydant qui sera avantageusement choisi parmi les chlorates et les perchlorates des métaux alcalins, alcalino-terreux ou encore d'ammonium. On préfèrera tout particulièrement utiliser le perchlorate d'ammonium qui n'engendre aucune perturbation de la couleur de la flamme.The first constituent of the composition of the invention is the oxidant which will advantageously be chosen from chlorates and perchlorates of alkali, alkaline-earth or even ammonium metals. We particularly prefer to use ammonium perchlorate which does not cause any disturbance in the color of the flame.
Le plus souvent cet oxydant apporte le chlore qui améliore la couleur de la flamme, en particulier dans les compositions pyrotechniques à base de cuivre, de strontium ou de baryum. Néanmoins, dans certains cas particuliers, il peut être utile d'ajouter à l'oxydant -qui intervient dans la composition à hauteur de 60 à 90 % en poids- un promoteur d'halogène, en particulier un promoteur de chlore ou de brome. Les compositions selon l'invention pourront ainsi contenir jusqu'à environ 5 % d'un tel promoteur d'halogène, par exemple constitué par des dérivés chlorés minéraux ou organiques.Most often this oxidant provides chlorine which improves the color of the flame, in particular in pyrotechnic compositions based on copper, strontium or barium. However, in certain particular cases, it may be useful to add to the oxidant - which is involved in the composition at a level of 60 to 90% by weight - a halogen promoter, in particular a chlorine or bromine promoter. The compositions according to the invention may thus contain up to approximately 5% of such a halogen promoter, for example consisting of chlorinated inorganic or organic derivatives.
Le second constituant de la composition selon l'invention est le réducteur qui sera généralement constitué par un réducteur organique de la famille des oses tels que le sorbitol, des polyoxyoléfines telles que le polyéthylène-glycol, ainsi que des résines naturelles ou synthétiques.The second constituent of the composition according to the invention is the reducing agent which will generally be constituted by an organic reducing agent from the family of oses such as sorbitol, polyoxyolefins such as polyethylene glycol, as well as natural or synthetic resins.
Lorsque l'on désire conférer à une telle composition pyrotechnique une forme matérielle particulière, on pourra bien sûr lui adjoindre un liant tel qu'une gomme ou une résine. Il convient de noter que, dans le cas où le réducteur est constitué par une résine, cette dernière pourra jouer simultanément le rôle d'agent réducteur et de liant.When it is desired to give such a pyrotechnic composition a particular material form, one can of course add to it a binder such as a gum or a resin. It should be noted that, in the case where the reducing agent consists of a resin, the latter can simultaneously play the role of reducing agent and binder.
Le troisième constituant essentiel des compositions pyrotechniques selon l'invention est l'acétylacétonate métallique qui peut par exemple être obtenu par réaction des métaux, d'hydroxydes ou de sels métalliques, sur l'acétylacétone.The third essential constituent of the pyrotechnic compositions according to the invention is metallic acetylacetonate which can for example be obtained by reaction of metals, hydroxides or metallic salts, on acetylacetone.
On notera que le couple réducteur + acétylacétonate métallique intervient dans les compositions pyrotechniques de l'invention à hauteur de 10 à 40 % en poids. On maintiendra cependant toujours une teneur minimale d'acétylacétonate métallique d'environ 3 % en poids.It will be noted that the reducing couple + metallic acetylacetonate is involved in the pyrotechnic compositions of the invention at a level of 10 to 40% by weight. However, a minimum metal acetylacetonate content of approximately 3% by weight will always be maintained.
Parmi les trois mélanges suivants dont les proportions sont calculées en respectant la stoechiométrie des réactions de combustions (quantité de combustible suffisante pour transformer le carbone en CO), l'acétylacétonate de cuivre donne la vitesse de combustion la plus élevée.
A la différence des autres agents de coloration pour flamme bleue, l'AAC, produit sublimable, donne une flamme haute, sans laisser de résidus, ce qui constitue un avantage déterminant dans le cas des torches et des lances, où les scories détériorent la couleur.Unlike the other coloring agents for blue flame, the AAC, sublimable product, gives a high flame, without leaving residues, which constitutes a determining advantage in the case of torches and lances, where the slag deteriorates the color .
Les gaz sont donc riches en colorant de flamme.The gases are therefore rich in flame dye.
En outre, la stabilité du complexe et sa très faible solubilité dans l'eau évitent l'éventuelle double décomposition des chlorates et perchlorates en présence de sels de cuivre, qui conduirait à des composés du cuivre sensibles aux chocs ou hygroscopiques.In addition, the stability of the complex and its very low solubility in water avoid the possible double decomposition of chlorates and perchlorates in the presence of copper salts, which would lead to copper compounds sensitive to shocks or hygroscopic.
Deux types de compositions sont mentionnés ci-après à titre d'illustration, l'un pour étoiles, l'autre pour flammes, lances-décor, bengales, etc.
Ce dernier type de composition présente, comme il l'a été mentionné plus haut, l'avantage de ne pas fumer et de ne pas laisser de résidus.This latter type of composition has, as mentioned above, the advantage of not smoking and of not leaving residues.
On indiquera enfin dans le tableau ci-après quelques exemples de couleur de flamme observée avec différents acétylacétonates métalliques.
Bien entendu, la présente invention ne saurait être limitée aux modes de réalisation particuliers décrits dont il est parfaitement possible d'imaginer de nombreuses variantes d'exécution. C'est ainsi que l'on peut choisir à titre de réducteur, ou encore adjoindre au réducteur, différents métaux tels que l'aluminium, le magnésium et le titane qui améliorent encore la luminosité de la flamme produite par les compositions pyrotechniques colorées selon l'invention.Of course, the present invention cannot be limited to the particular embodiments described, of which it is perfectly possible to imagine numerous variant embodiments. Thus it is possible to choose, as reducing agent, or even to add to the reducing agent, different metals such as aluminum, magnesium and titanium which further improve the brightness of the flame produced by the pyrotechnic compositions colored according to the 'invention.
