Abstract
A smoke generating composition including at least one smoke generating material and an effective amount of a polymerized monosaccharide or disaccharide as a binder. The polymerized monosaccharide or disaccharide serves the dual purpose of being both a binder and a fuel to provide a more efficient and safer smoke generating composition.
Claims29
A smoke generating composition, comprising:
- (a) a smoke generating material and
- (b) a binder comprising poymerized sucrose, wherein said polymerized sucrose is prepared by polymerizing sucrose in the presence of acid catalyst and water.
A method of producing a smoke generating composition, said method comprising treating a smoke generating material with a binder comprising polymerized sucrose, said polymerized sucrose being provided in an amount to effectively act as a binder for said smoke composition, wherein said polymerized sucrose is prepared by polymerizing sucrose in the presence of acid catalyst and water.
