Definitions

  • the invention relates to firelighters.
  • a well known firelighter in general domestic use is the so-called white firelighter which comprises a solid block and which is based on a kerosine/ ureaformaldehyde resin system.
  • .It is known to add powdered talc to white firelighter composition to control combustion and extend the burning time.
  • a typical particle size for powdered talc is 0.05 millimetres.
  • a 40 gram piece of white firelighter without talc may burn for some 15 minutes, whereas a 40 gram piece containing 0.6% by weight of talc may burn for some 22 minutes.
  • the longer burn and control heat release are of advantage in lighting difficultly ignitable solid fuels.
  • the white firelighter utilises-a kerosine in water emulsion.
  • the aqueous phase of this emulsion contains a resin syrup which is caused to set by the use of a catalyst or hardener, thus producing a solid combustible material.
  • a catalyst or hardener thus producing a solid combustible material.
  • the invention provides a firelighter composition
  • a firelighter composition comprising a liquid hydrocarbon fuel emulsified in a resin, the composition also containing particles of talc having a size greater than 0.1 millimetres.
  • the fuel comprises kerosine.
  • the talc particle sizes preferably lie in the range 0.2 to 2 millimetres.
  • talc tailings Preferably a material known commercially as talc tailings is used.
  • the talc may comprise up to 10% by weight of the composition.
  • talc e.g. talc tailings
  • control composition was manufactured by making a white firelighter using the following ingredients:-
  • a further control composition was made, using the same ingredients as CONTROL 1, but with 0.6% by weight of the kerosine replaced by powdered talc.
  • a 40 gram piece of the CONTROL 2 firelighter composition burned for 22 minutes.
  • a firelighter composition according to the invention was made using the following ingredients:-
  • the talc tailings were grade AC11 obtained from Richard Baker Harrison Limited of Liverpool.
  • the CONTROL 2 white firelighter piece was used to ignite a fixed charge of Coalite solid fuel in a room heater. Two pieces were required and a good fire was established 30 minutes after the firelighters were spent.
  • the firelighter of EXAMPLE 1 was used to ignite Coalite under exactly similar conditions. One piece only was required and a good fire was established 15 minutes after the firelighter was spent.
  • a firelighter was made as EXAMPLE 1, but an alternative talc tailings material, grade T15 from Richard Baker Harrison Limited, was employed.
  • One piece having the same dimensions as the pieces mentioned above, weighed 38 grams and burned for 24 minutes.
