Abstract
A pyrotechnic active material for producing IR-radiation is proposed. An active material according to the invention contains fuel (preferably magnesium) which combines with fluorine in a strongly exergonic reaction (for example Li, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ti, Zr, Hf, B, Al and alloys thereof) and poly-(carbon monofluoride) ((—CF —)n) (x=0.6-1.2) as an oxidation agent. Compositions according to the invention further contain VITON® as a polymeric binding agent and graphite for reduction of the electrostatic sensitivity. A process for producing those compositions is also provided.
