Low temperature, extrudable, high density reactive materials

An article comprising a liner formed from a reactive material, the reactive material, comprising:

• an oxidizing agent comprising a fluoropolymer selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride, a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluorovinylether, a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene, and a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene;
• and
• at least one metal filler.

A method of processing a reactive material, comprising:

• mixing at least one metal filler with an oxidizing agent to form a reactive material, the oxidizing agent comprising a fluoropolymer selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride, a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluorovinylether, a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene, and a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene;
• and
• processing the reactive material at a temperature that does not exceed a thermal autoignition temperature of the reactive material.
