Abstract
Crystalline lead monoxide is precipitated around an aqueous suspension of boron particles to form an ignitable composition having uniform, reproducible properties and good resistance to shock, heat and friction.
Claims9
An ignitable composition which comprises crystalline lead monoxide having up to about 10 percent by weight of finely divided boron entrained within, and substantially uniformly dispersed throughout, individual lead monoxide crystals.
A high bulk density ignitable composition consisting essentially of lead monoxide in the tetragonal polymorphic crystal form having up to about 10 percent by weight of finely divided boron entrained within, and substantially uniformly dispersed throughout, individual lead monoxide crystals.
A low bulk density ignitable composition consisting essentially in the orthorhombic polymorphic crystal form haing up to about 10 percent by weight of finely divided boron entrained within, and substantially uniformly dispersed throughout, individual lead monoxide crystals.
