Best Answer

Sulfur, Charcoal, Potassium Nitrate.

Main components of Black Powder or Gun Powder. Ideal for using as propellant in fireworks.

It will have different burn speed depending on the level of components in the mixture.

It can burn very slowly or it can burn extremely fast.

Sulfur and Potassium Nitrate is used in matches, but there are more components to it than that. This can be some harder materials like sand or glass. This all mixed with a glue of some variety to make it stick to the end of the match. Friction make the match ignite. Matches can be made so that little friction will ignite them. This is however dangerous as a box of matches in your pocket may self ignite whilst you walk.

I suppose phosphor could be used, but this is highly toxic and extremely dangerous.
