Abstract
Abstract 1. A thickened incendiary composition having a gellike consistency comprising from about 80 to 98 percent of an aluminum compound of the formula: AIRxH3 x WHERE R is an alkyl group and x is an integer ranging from 1 to 3, and from 2 to 20 percent of a hydrocarbon polymer gelling agent. 8. The method of producing a conflagration which comprises dispersing an incendiary composition comprising from about 80 to 98 percent of an aluminum compound of the formula: A1RxH3 x WHEREIN R is an alkyl group and x is an integer ranging from 1 to 3, and from 2 to 20 percent of a hydrocarbon polymer gelling agent compatible and nonreactive with said aluminum compound and free of active hydrogen.
