 Technology Profile

Title:

Green Firecrackers
Value Proposition:
  • Safe water & air releaser: SWAS: Minimises use of potassium nitrate and sulphur, has matching sound intensity with conventional crackers (105-110 dBA)
  • Safe thermite cracker: STAR: Minimizes use of Sulphur and Potassium Nitrate.
  • Safe minimal Aluminium cracker: Safal: Minimal use of Aluminium
  • CSIR-NEERI and Standard Fireworks jointly develop green and improved crackers.
  • CSIR-NEERI developed three technologies for green and improved crackers
Summary Application:

Celebrations and festive option with less pollution.
Advantages:
  • The modified sound emitting crackers will reduce the emissions of Particulate matter (PM) by 25-35%.
  • Cost of both type of crackers  will be 15% less than the price of crackers currently available in markets.
  • Mainly substituted the conventional chemicals from the crackers with NEERI’s proprietary materials.
