Abstract

A pyrotechnic composition comprising a mixture of finely divided magnesium and silicon dioxide, both distributed throughout a binder selected from the members of the group consisting of polybutadienes and teflon. The composition is suitably insensitive, and yet readily ignitable, and does not require the use of solvents or of expensive spheroidal magnesium granules for its manufacture.
