Abstract:
1. A hydrogen suppressing, flameless, heat generating chemical composition comprising a reaction mixture having at least the following reactants: magnesium with small trace amounts of alloying metals in the range of 0.001% to 0.1% selected from the group consisting of: iron, cobalt, nickel, zinc and aluminum; water; particulate carbon; a hydrogen overvoltage suppressor, a flowing agent, a reaction activator, and, a hydrogen suppressor selected from the group consisting of: γ-MnO 2 , oxides of ruthenium, PtO, IrO 2 , RhO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , Co 3 O 4 , NiO, Ag 2 O, Au 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , HfO 2 , Ta 2 O 5 , PbO 2 , and combinations thereof, and each of said reactants being present in a proportional amount to generate sufficient heat to heat water, medical supplies and/or consumable rations wherein said chemical composition is placed in a reaction mixture bag made to be hydrophilic by dipping said reaction mixture bag in an aqueous solution containing a surfactant or by applying a dab of said aqueous solution containing said surfactant on a side of said reaction mixture bag.
