What is the top of a match made of?
There are two different types of matches that can be distinguished by the different match heads. With both types, the main part of a match is wood or a type of cardboard-ish paper. The wood is commonly composed of white pine or Aspen due to rigidness and workability.Safety Matches:These matches are designed so they will only combust when struck against the right type of surface. The match heads are composed of sulfur (this is what you smell) mixed with oxidizing agents like potassium chlorate, colorants (dyes), fillers, glue (binders), starch, and powdered glass. The glass in the match creates friction with the glass in the safety paper which ignites the head and then burns the wood.Friction Matches:These matches are designed so they can ignite on any surface that will produce sufficient friction. They are composed of many of the same chemicals that are in safety matches, but friction matches also contain antimony (II) sulfide, which causes the fire to burn more vigorously. Friction matches don't have the glass present in safety matches, so they can be struck on any surface.
What element lights safety matches?
Safety matches are typically ignited by a chemical reaction between phosphorus and an oxidizing agent. The striking surface of a safety match contains red phosphorus, while the match head contains potassium chlorate, sulfur, and glass powder. When struck against the rough surface, the friction generates heat that converts red phosphorus to white phosphorus, which ignites the match head. This design prevents accidental ignition, as the match only lights when struck against the specially formulated surface.
A person working in an area where fumes from explosive gases are present must wear?
A person working in an area with fumes from explosive gases must wear a gas mask or respirator equipped with appropriate filters to protect against inhalation of the hazardous fumes. They should also wear flame-resistant clothing and safety goggles to prevent exposure to sparks or flames that could ignite the gases.
Is resin flammable?
Yes, resin is flammable. It can ignite when exposed to high temperatures or flames, so it should be handled and stored carefully with proper safety precautions in place.
Why was the safety match invented?
The safety match was invented to prevent accidental fires from matches igniting when rubbing against most anything.

What was the name of the first safety matches?
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. Unlike earlier matches, safety matches could only be ignited by striking them against a specially prepared surface, making them safer to use.
Why are safety matches safe?
Safety matches are not exactly safe but are "Safer" that standard matches as they will not light in unforseen situations such as in your pocket.
What is the difference between safety matches and friction matches?
friction matches can catch on fire like rapid fire and safety matches are more safe and secure
A device that explodes is a?
A device that explodes is against to law to manufacture or possess in the US. But, technically speaking, safety matches are explosives as they combust rapidly.
How did safety matches help society?
by allowing villagers to strike back against their neighbors by covering their neighbors house with gasoline and lighting a match
What is the future of safety matches?
It will be Safe
What are safety matches?
matches u need to use a special striker to light them
If you slide a safety match across an untreated striking surface would it light?
No, a safety match requires a specific treated striking surface to ignite. If you try to light it on an untreated surface, it will not ignite.
Why a match catches fire when rubbed on the match box?
the head of the safety match has antimony trisulphide & potassium chloride.the rubbing surface has powdered glass and little red phosphorus.when the match is struck against the rubbing surface some red phosphorus gets converted to white phosphorus.this reacts with potassium chlorate in the matchstick head to produce enough heat to ignite antimony trisulphide and start the combustion.
