COMBUSTIBLE COMPOSITION HAVING A RESIN MATRIX

摘要

This invention relates to a combustible composition comprising a matrix of cured resin having distributed therethrough hydrocarbon oil and also particles of a solid combustible material in which the particles are of size such that at least 95% thereof are retained on a sieve of mesh number 35(nominal aperture size 0.44 mm). It also relates to a process for producing firelighters of the composition given above in which an emulsion of hydrocarbon oil in an aqueous phase comprising resin syrup, water and emulsifying agent is mixed with the particulate solid combustible material and thereafter catalysing the resin and allowing the composition to cure.
