1836F

1836F is a specific designation for a type of firework, commonly known as a Roman candle. This designation is part of a standardized system used to classify fireworks based on their composition and performance characteristics. The "1836" refers to the year when the specific formulation was developed, and the "F" indicates that the firework is a type of firecracker, which are characterized by their loud explosions and bright flashes.

The 1836F firework is composed of a mixture of potassium perchlorate, charcoal, and sulfur. When ignited, the potassium perchlorate rapidly decomposes, generating hot gases that expand rapidly and produce a loud bang. The charcoal and sulfur contribute to the bright flash and smoke trail that follows the initial explosion. This type of firework is often used in displays and celebrations due to its dramatic effect and reliability.

The 1836F designation is just one of many used in the fireworks industry. Other designations, such as 1836E (firecracker with a longer burn time) and 1836G (firecracker with a different color or effect), indicate variations in composition and performance. These designations help firework manufacturers and users understand the specific characteristics and behaviors of different types of fireworks.

While 1836F fireworks are popular for their dramatic effect, they are also subject to safety regulations. The use of fireworks is typically restricted to licensed professionals, and their sale and use are often governed by local laws and regulations. This is to ensure that the public is protected from potential hazards associated with the handling and ignition of fireworks.
