Abstract
A fire starter material is comprised of a mixture of magnesium and at least one heat-processable polymeric material. It can also be comprised of a mixture of magnesium and calcium carbonate or a mixture of magnesium, calcium carbonate and one or more heat processable polymeric materials. Binders such as waxes or resinous substances may also be present, especially in the presence of calcium carbonate. In one preferred embodiment of this invention, the heat-processable polymeric material also serves as such a binder. The fire starter material can be formed by compacting the magnesium/heat-processable polymeric material into the desired shape under high pressures and temperature capable of heat processing the polymeric material. For example, such formations can be achieved by sintering the material or by mixing the magnesium (or magnesium and calcium carbonate) with a heat-processable polymeric material such as a wax or resin in a liquid state to form a wet mixture and then pressing, extruding or injection molding the wet mixture into a desired shape.
