Bamboo charcoal powder (3000 mesh) 100% Black powder Mecacol BCP3 Mecacol

The first use of charcoal comes from the black pigment used in European cave paintings around 32 000 years ago. It is possible that the earliest use of charcoal as a fuel in the smelting of copper began over 7000 years ago. The first definite evidence of human involvement with charcoal as a fuel goes back to 5500 years ago in the Middle East and Southern Europe, when the Egyptians, who were expert metal workers, discovered the smelting of iron using charcoal.
Graphite is crystallized carbon and usually appears as soft, black scales. There are two types of graph ite, natural and artificial (activated). Natural and synthetic graphite may be mixed with each other or contain other additives.
GLASSY CARBON is an amorphous form of carbon produced by partially burning or oxidizing wood or other organic matter.
A black powder or granular mixed with a tar or starch and water binder pressed into regular lumps or briquettes. Heats slowly and ignites in air especially if wet.
Carbon itself has no toxic action, but it contains impurities that may be toxic. Fire hazard: reacts with liquid air, Ba(ClO3)2, BrFj, Cl0, Ca(ClO3)2, ClF2, F2, H2O2, Mg(ClO3)2, (O2 + wood), perchlorates, peroxides, (P + air), K + KClO3, mo3, Ru04, AgNO3, NaClO3, (AgCl + NaO2), S, (S + NaNO3), Zn(ClO3)2. Heats spontaneously, particularly when wet, freshly calcined, or tightly packed, and it can ignite and burn. Slight explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use water, mist, foam, or dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.
