Abstract
Disclosed is an ignition formulation for use as an aerial ignition incendiary. The ignition formulation comprises an incendiary material and an ignition fluid. The ignition fluid includes an alcohol-based reactant capable of reacting exothermically with the incendiary material to an extent sufficient to generate a flame. The ignition fluid also includes an alcohol-based suppressant capable of delaying a time needed to generate the flame upon contact of the alcohol-based reactant with the incendiary material compared to a time required to generate the flame in an absence of the alcohol-based suppressant.

An ignition formulation for use as an aerial ignition incendiary, the formulation comprising:
- an incendiary material;
- and
- an ignition fluid comprising:
- an alcohol-based reactant capable of reacting exothermically with the incendiary material to an extent sufficient to generate a flame;
- and
- an alcohol-based suppressant capable of delaying a time needed to generate the flame upon contact of the alcohol-based reactant with the incendiary material compared to a time required to generate the flame in an absence of the alcohol-based suppressant;
- wherein the formulation is free from solvents, co-solvents and/or surfactants.

An ignition formulation for use as an aerial ignition incendiary, the formulation comprising:
- potassium permanganate as an incendiary material;
- and
- an ignition fluid comprising a 70:20:10 (vol %) mixture of mono-ethylene glycol, benzyl alcohol and 1-pentanol;
- wherein a ratio of the potassium permanganate and ignition fluid ranges from 90:10 to 80:20 such that the mono-ethylene glycol can react exothermically upon contact with the potassium permanganate to an extent sufficient to generate a flame and the benzyl alcohol and 1-pentanol delay a time needed to generate the flame upon contact of the mono-ethylene glycol with the potassium permanganate compared to a time required to generate the flame in an absence of the benzyl alcohol and 1-pentanol,
- wherein the ignition formulation is free from solvents, co-solvents and/or surfactants.
An ignition system for use as an aerial ignition incendiary, the system comprising:
- Part A comprising an incendiary material;
- and
- Part B comprising an ignition fluid comprising:
- an alcohol-based reactant capable of reacting exothermically with the incendiary material to an extent sufficient to generate a flame;
- and
- an alcohol-based suppressant capable of delaying a time required to generate the flame upon contact of the alcohol-based reactant with the incendiary material compared to a time required to generate the flame in an absence of the alcohol-based suppressant,
- wherein Part B is free from solvents, co-solvents and/or surfactants.

A kit for an ignition system for use as an aerial ignition incendiary, the kit comprising:
- Part A comprising an incendiary material;
- and
- Part B comprising an ignition fluid comprising:
- an alcohol-based reactant capable of reacting exothermically with the incendiary material to an extent sufficient to generate a flame;
- and
- an alcohol-based suppressant capable of delaying a time required to generate the flame upon contact of the alcohol-based reactant with the incendiary material compared to a time required to generate the flame in an absence of the alcohol-based suppressant,
- wherein Part B is free from solvents, co-solvents and/or surfactants.
