Learn About The Various Types Of Fireworks Fuses

Those of you who are planning to make fireworks; here is an introduction to the various

types of fireworks fuse to help you choose the right one for creating a beautiful firework display.

The first and the most popular fireworks fuse is Visco fuse. Visco fuse consists of a thread soaked in black powder, wrapped in layers of twine, and coated in nitrocellulose lacquer. Visco fuse comes in 3 colors- green, red, and a red-white-blue combination. Visco fuse is also called cannon fuse as it was once used as gun powder. It is ideal to be used in most of the consumer fireworks because it doesnt extinguish easily once lit. Visco can burn in water, wind, in rain, and even if submersed in water. Further, it burns without shooting sparks and creating side spits.

However, the only disadvantage of using the Visco fuse is that it burns quite slowly, 2.5 inches per second, which doesnt make it a very good option for the fireworks that are separated by a long distance.

Another type of fireworks fuse is Black Match. It consists of a black powder-soaked cotton string. It burns at about 1 inch per second and takes fire easily. Black Match is popularly used in consumer fireworks and for professional fireworks displays. If you are planning to use this particular firework fuse for making the fireworks, you must be very careful as this can easily be ruined by water and is easily ignited by other sparks if not protected. Take care of your hands and other fireworks or fuses when using this.

Quick match is also a good fireworks fuse. It is similar to the black match only but that has got a loose paper "pipe" fitted inside it. The paper pipe helps push forward the gases and increases the burning speed of the firecrackers, sparklers, shells, fountains, and other fireworks. You can use Quick match if you wish to ignite hundreds of fireworks at one go.

Then comes electrical igniters or e-fireworks fuse. Electrical igniters comprise thin filament and a heating compound that gives off hot flames and sparks when a small current is passed through the leads of the fuse. With the help of the electric igniters, you can ignite the fireworks from a distance, without actually lighting them off. You can use an electric control panel for lighting the fireworks.

Though, a little expensive, E-fireworks fuse are the safest and the most reliable of all fireworks fuses.
