(000 used for making Aerial shots, Heavy sound crackers etc in Fireworks applications; 555 used for making Atom bombs / Chocolate bombs, Heavy sound crackers etc in Fireworks applications; 999 & 999 S used for making Aerial shots, Atom bombs / Chocolate bombs,Chorsa crackers, Fancy fireworks, High sound crackers, Sparklers, Twinklers Chakras etc in Fireworks applications, where, 999 S yields bright flash & sharp sound in garland crackers, louder sound in atom bomb crackers, bright white & more sparks in ground chakras, better spreading & bigger sparks in sparklers and also more out-turn than the existing 999 grade; LD-999 used for making Chorsa crackers, Light sound crackers Motta thukkada crackers etc and with more outputs in Fireworks applications; 666 & 666-O used for making Candles, Chakras, Pencils, Sparklers, Stars, Twinklers, Chorsa crackers, Fancy fireworks etc in Fireworks applications; 222 used for making Sparklers in Fireworks applications; 444, FP-33, 333 & 333-S used for making Flowerpots in Fireworks applications, where, 333S yields better performance and more out-turn in flowerpots application than the existing 333 grade.

000-S, , an improved version of 000, produces loud sound when used in aerial echoes; owing to its ability to transmit heat, it is used in the coating of coloured pellets which are used in areal displays; finds application in producing variety of colours such as green,red,yellow,silver,violet etc; very good in micro stars; provides excellent violet colour in micro as well as in macro stars because obtaining violet colour is difficult in fireworks, which is a rare characteristic associated; enhancing the color producing effect and ignition properties

999-S, , an improved version of 999, produces Louder sound in Atom bomb; Sharp sound with flash in Crackers; Bright flash and sharp sound in Garland Crackers; Bigger size sparks and better spreading in Sparklers; Bright white and more sparks in Ground Chakkars;

333-S, an improved version of 333, produces flower pots with regular color effects, better performance and more out-turn; in flower pots / fountains (with Aluminium flitter and Barium nitrate) ejects shining, bright white sparks to a great height with beautiful look.
