What are match heads made from?

Match heads are typically made from a mixture of oxidizing agents like potassium chlorate, sulfur, and glass powder, combined with a binder to hold the ingredients together. The oxidizers facilitate combustion, while other materials such as phosphorus or red phosphorus may be included for ignition.

The first safety matches were called "Lucifers," developed in the early 19th century. They were created by Swedish chemist Gustaf Erik Pasch in 1844, but it wasn't until 1855 that the first commercial safety matches were produced by Johan Edvard Lundström in Sweden.
