Flash String (5g blue)

The right thickness of flash paper depends on the effect you are looking for:

Thin flash paper ignites very quickly, because there is more oxygen in the paper. This creates a short, fast flash. Perfect for applications in gastronomy, because the fast effect leaves minimal chemical traces.

Medium flash paper is suitable for most users. It ignites quickly, gives a nice visible flame and is ideal for entertainment and magic.

Thick flash paper burns a little slower, making the flame visible for longer. This thickness is also ideal if you want to write on flash paper.

Flash paper is made from nitrocellulose, a highly flammable compound. Nitrocellulose is created by chemically treating cellulose, the natural base of regular paper, through a process called nitration.

Nitration involves exposing cellulose to a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids, creating nitrocellulose. The result is paper that ignites extremely quickly and almost completely, with no smoke or visible ash.

This makes flash paper ideal for spectacular effects in entertainment and gastronomy.

Flash paper is best stored moist, for example in a sealed container with a little mineral water. This prevents the paper from spontaneously igniting and it retains its optimum properties. In addition, always store it cool and out of direct sunlight.

Before use, it is important to let your flash paper dry completely. Only dry paper will ignite quickly and give the spectacular effect it is known for.

Under ideal conditions, flash paper will last for one to two years.

How much flash paper you need depends on the effect you want to achieve:

For small, quick effects you usually use a piece of about 3 to 5 centimeters.

If you want to create a larger or more striking effect, for example for a stage act or a presentation in a larger space, feel free to use a larger piece, for example 10 to 15 centimetres.

Flash paper is very powerful, so it is best to start small and test in advance how big the desired effect is.

Flash paper is the way to present dishes spectacularly. Thanks to the fast combustion you create an impressive flash, without smoke or visible ash.

For example, use flash paper to reveal dishes or desserts, so that guests have an unforgettable experience at the table. Thin flash paper is ideal for this: it burns faster and cleaner, with minimal chemical traces.

Please note: Never ignite flash paper directly on food, because it remains a chemical product. Always keep sufficient distance to the food. The use of flash paper is always at your own risk.
