Table 3 Interpretation of the ignitability testing.

From: Experimentation on Sargassum wightii as a flash powder igniter for attaining eco-friendly combustion on pyrotechnics

Percentage of seaweed composition as a replacement for sulphur (%)

Interpretation

25%SP and 50%SP

On observation of the ignitability test, it is seen that these compositions are suitable for Chinese crackers as the speed of the flammability is similar to the existing composition

75%SP

This type of composition is suitable for Pencil composition as the flame is undisturbed when an external source of ignition is provided and retained throughout the combustion

100%SP

On observation, it is found that here the combustion of powder takes place but the flammability speed is irregular and incomplete combustion
