Hi
I have a problem that I would like to have some help with.

What is Batium Nitrate and what is the kemical description.
I'm trying to import pyrotechnics from China and the regulations requir that I can answer this. I have got the description KNO3 for Batium Nitrate but to me that is Potassium Nitrate.

Regards

Anders Skoglund

Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) is an oxidizing agent used in some fireworks. You may want to look at the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for this - go to http://www.msds.com ). For more fireworks-oriented information, try one of the pyro chemical suppliers, such as Skylighter:

I hope this helps.
