A binary system [is a] two-component pyrotechnic system where the pyrotechnic material is broken down into two separate containers. One is the oxidizer and one is the fuel. The ingredients cannot burn or explode until they are mixed together. This makes binaries safer to store and handle. 3, record 1, English, - binary%20system

Dans les feux d'artifice, combustible(s) et oxydant(s) sont des produits solides intimement mêlés. Le mélange n'a pas besoin de l'oxygène ambiant pour réagir. Les combustibles peuvent être des métaux comme l'aluminium, des non-métaux comme le soufre ou le charbon ou des composés organiques divers. Dans la plupart des cas les oxydants sont des sels métalliques riches en oxygène comme des nitrates, chlorates, perchlorates. Le mélange peut être un simple mélange binaire (à deux constituants ), comme un mélange de perchlorate de potassium et d'aluminium, très vif, capable de déflagrer violemment. [Un mélange binaire] comportera généralement trois constituants ou plus comme, par exemple, la poudre noire [qui est] composée de nitrate de potassium, de charbon et de soufre. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9lange%20binaire
