Overview of storm matches in a plastic container 20 pcs
Box in which wind matches are supplied, fromMade from impact resistant polymer. There are no threads and rubber o-rings at the junction of the body with the cap. Despite this, the container is quite airtight. As many users note in their reviews, water will not seep inside the box, even if you hold it under water for several minutes.
Nevertheless, Sheriff recommends to play it safe during a hiking trip and place a matchbox along with other valuable items in a small target="_blank">Waterproof Case,which you can always carry with you - around your neck.
For a better grip (including with wet, frozen hands, as well as with gloves), the surface of the container was made ribbed. The bright orange color makes it easier to spot storm matches among other things, which is important in an emergency.
On the side surface of the box there is a black rough strip, which is called a spread or grater. It consists of red phosphorus, phlegmatizers, glue and other special fillers.
The head of a wind match is much thicker than a conventional match.noah, so its ability to ignite is better. But in general, the components are the same - sulfur, which was mixed with manganese dioxide and a very large amount of potassium chloride. So that the sulfurous mass does not burn out too quickly and does not crumble, it was fastened with various adhesives, as well as fillers such as zinc white, ground glass and iron minium.
When the match head is rubbed against the box, a series of chemical reactions occur: red phosphorus turns white, heats up and flares up when it comes into contact with oxygen. Fire appears whentemperature 180-200 degrees Celsius. In the future, the combustion temperature of the sulfur element can reach 1500 degrees.
All-weather matches can burn even underwater. A storm wind of 12 points is not terrible for them. Due to the thickened coating, the burning time is increased. This means that the tourist is more likely to ignite the wet fuel.
Always light matches only from yourself! Usually, it only takes one strike to trigger a flash. If you wet them, then dry them and try to use them for their intended purpose, it will take a lot of time to ignite them.more time, but the result will still be positive. This effect is provided by a protective paraffin layer, which covers matches to prevent dampening.
