Claim:
1. A self-sustaining reactive composition for defeating chemical agent material comprising: (i) at least one reactive metal comprising magnesium powder, wherein the composition comprises between about 10% by mass to about 40% by mass magnesium powder; (ii) at least one oxidizer comprising a combination of iron oxide powder and potassium perchlorate powder, wherein the composition comprises between about 30% by mass to about 70% by mass iron oxide powder and between about 0.01% by mass to about 3.0% by mass potassium perchlorate powder; and (iii) a binder comprising silicone gel, wherein the composition comprises between about 10% by mass to about 40% by mass silicone gel, wherein said composition, when ignited, is configured to self-react to generate an elevated temperature and elevated thermal energy sufficient to render ineffective said chemical agent material by wicking action and combustion with atmospheric oxygen.
