Abstract
The burning rate of an illuminant composition adapted to be used in an illuminating flare and comprising magnesium granules, an inorganic oxidizer and an organic polymeric binder is increased by incorporating therein 0.1 to 5% by weight of tetranitrocarbazole as a burning rate modifier. The incorporation of the tetranitrocarbazole burning rate modifier permits the attainment of a given light intensity with a lesser proportion of magnesium in the composition.
