    • C10L11/00—Manufacture of firelighters
    • C10L11/04—Manufacture of firelighters consisting of combustible material

Definitions

  • the invention relates to firefighters.
  • 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/urea formaldehyde resin system.
  • a typical particle size for powdered talc is 0.05 millimetres.
  • the longer burn and controlled heat release are of advantage in lighting solid fuels which are difficult to ignite.
  • GB-A-1 544 635 discloses a combustible composition
  • a combustible composition comprising a matrix of cured resin having distributed therethrough hydrocarbon oil and also particles of a solid combustible material in which the particles are of size such that at least 95% thereof are retained on a sieve of mesh number 35 (nominal aperture size 0.44 mm); the combustible composition may contain a substance to extend the burning time and one such substance is talc which may be present in an amount up to 1 % w/w of the solid combustible material.
  • EP-A-0 023 829 relates to combustible compositions which may be used as firelighters and the compositions comprise a matrix of solid resin having distributed therethrough combustible liquid, and water characterised in that the composition also contains up to 25% by weight of expanded perlite distributed therethrough; the compositions may contain a certain amount of talc, and one particular group of compositions comprises at least five parts of expanded perlite, from 5 to 25 parts water, from 65 to 85 parts kerosine, and up to 1.2 parts of talc, parts being by weight.
  • EP-A-0 023 830 is concerned with ignitable combustible compositions comprising a matrix of solid resin having distributed therethrough combustible liquid, and water characterised in that the composition also contains up to 25% by weight of a particulate non-combustible solid having a specific surface area of not greater than 8 m 2 /g distributed therethrough; this earlier specification discloses that talc is not satisfactory as the non-combustible particulate material to be used in accordance with this earlier invention but an amount of talc up to 1.2% may be used in addition to the non-combustible particulate material, except when such material is exfoliated vermiculite.
  • the firelighters with which this invention is concerned utilize 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 resin syrup which is caused to set by the use of a catalyst or hardener, thus producing a solid combustible material.
  • the present 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 tailings 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.
  • 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.
  • Example 1 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.
  • Example 1 In neither Example 1 nor Example 2 was the stability of the emulsion affected by the addition of the talc.
