Time Fuse

Time Fuse

Time fuse is made in the style of the original bickford fuse, It can be used in the fireworks as well as mining applications.

The construction of the fuse is quite similar to safety fuse. The outer layer is not coated with anything but is instead wrapped in paper. While burning, no flame is observable at the sides of the fuse.

it is commonly used inside fireworks shells to give a reliable, timed source of ignition to the inside of the firework shell. This allows the shell to burst right at apogee. It can also be used to fuse together fireworks shells in a display, giving a reliable time delay between the ignition of the shells. Time fuse is relatively difficult to light than visco fuse / micro cord.

Tip – We adhere to strict quality control to achieve uniform burn times as far as possible. However, we recommend using safety fuses with adequate safety margins as they are subject to variation based on storage and usage conditions. We also recommend that a test burn of required length is conducted where timing is important.
