Chemicals

A chemical substance is a form of matter having constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. Some references add that chemical substance cannot be separated into its constituent elements by physical separation methods, i.e., without breaking chemical bonds. Chemical substances can be simple substances, chemical compounds, or alloys.

In pyrotechnics specific chemicals are used for creating different effects. Some are used as helpers during manufacturing like solvents and binders.
