Flameless, smoke generating signaling material

Abstract

A cool-burning, smoke-generating signaling composition free of oxidized-carbon burning rate accelerant or a magnesium carbonate coolant, wherein the composition comprises a mixture of potassium bromate, KCYAH, an augmenting organic fuel, a solid particulate with selected signaling characteristics, and a polyvinyl alcohol binder.

I/we claim: 
     
         1 . A cool-burning, smoke-generating signaling composition comprising potassium bromate and potassium cyanurate hydrate with out using an oxidized-carbon burning rate accelerant and a magnesium carbonate coolant, wherein the composition comprises a combination of potassium bromate, a dry milled KCYAH, corn starch, a dye, polyvinyl alcohol binder, and glycerin. 
     
     
         2 . A cool-burning, smoke-generating signaling composition free of oxidized-carbon burning rate accelerant or a magnesium carbonate coolant, wherein the composition comprises a mixture of potassium bromate, KCYAH, an augmenting organic fuel, a solid particulate with selected signaling characteristics, and a polyvinyl alcohol binder. 
     
     
         3 . The signaling composition of  claim 2  wherein the augmenting organic fuel is corn starch. 
     
     
         4 . The signaling composition of  claim 2  wherein the solid particulate is a dye. 
     
     
         5 . The signaling composition of  claim 2  wherein the solid particulate is a vaporizable dye. 
     
     
         6 . The signaling composition of  claim 2  wherein the KCYAH is a dry-milled KCYAH. 
     
     
         7 . The signaling composition of  claim 2 , further comprising Monarch 1400. 
     
     
         8 . The signaling composition of  claim 1 , further comprising glycerin. 
     
     
         9 . The signaling composition of  claim 2  wherein the amount of potassium bromate is in the range of approximately 40%-42%. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 2  wherein the amount of KCYAH is in the range of approximately 18%-25%. 
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 2  wherein the amount of augmenting organic fuel is in the range of approximately 5%-7%. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 2  wherein the amount of a solid particulate with selected signaling characteristics is in the range of approximately 25%-30%. 
     
     
         13 . The composition of  claim 2  wherein the amount of PVAOH is in the range of approximately 1%-2%. 
     
     
         14 . A flameless, smoke generating signaling material substantially as disclosed herein.
