White fire

[Daecon]

Is there any chemical that produces a white coloured flame when burning?

[Observer]

well magneseum burns white.

[CaptainPanic]

Think of white colored fireworks.

Like Observer said: Magnesium burns white. So does titanium.

Thermite makes you go blind, so... I would count that one too! Plus I think most things glow white at 3000 Celsius. At least there should be white glowing globs of molten iron...

Willie Peter? Is there a context?

[Fuzzwood]

That would be the military term for white phosphor

[YT2095]

in my experience, White Phos is more of a gray/green fire than pure white.

 

Ti, Mg, Zr, Al, Ce make good white "Fire".

[Daecon]

Do they burn with proper flames like wood or gas does?

[YT2095]

not really, it all depends on their form (surface area is important).

 

Flames implies Gas, and for the most part it`s the metal itself that`s burning.
