There are also instances where delayed ignition is essential for sabotage success. This series contains formulations and devices to satisfy the requirements for high ignition heat and predetermined ignition delay times for use in sabotage and other harassment actions. Every Incendiary system cosists of a group of elements starting with an initiator and ending with the main incendiary material. If the initiator does not produce enough heat for reliable ignition of the combustible target, an intermediater or booster incendiary is required. More than one booster is necessary for some targets.
Spontaneous combustion is a good sabotage tool.
