Abstract
An elongate flexible fuse is provided, preferably by an extrusion process, which consists of an oxidizing agent and a fuel present in quantities which will permit a rate of burning of from 10 seconds/meter to 250 seconds/meter. The oxidizing agent is preferably in finely divided form contained in a combustible matrix of fuel or is admixed with finely divided fuel and both contained in a matrix of different material. The ratio of oxidizing agent to fuel is at least 1:1 by weight.
