INCENDIARY COMPOSITION CONTAINING AN ALUMINUM ALKYL COMPOUND

摘要

Aluminum trialkyls and aluminum alkyl hydrides are thickened with a paraffin wax to form gellike incendiary compositions. Additionally, the incendiary may contain diluents which are compatible with aluminum alkyls such as hydrocarbons, finely divided metals and certain organometallic compounds. These incendiaries ignite spontaneously upon contact with air or water and, therefore, are useful in flamethrowers, firebombs, fire rockets, and other flame-producing weapons.
