- b. about 21 to 27 percent by weight of a metal selected from the group consisting of magnesium and aluminum;
- c. about 16 to 21 percent by weight of a chlorinated benzene compound;
- d. about 14 to 18 percent by weight of an inorganic oxidizer; and
- e. about 1 to 3 percent by weight of an polyisocyanate compound.
- 2. A composition of matter as recited in claim 1, wherein
- a. said inorganic oxidizer is selected from the group consisting of ammonium perchlorate and ammonium nitrate; and
- b. said polyisocyanate compound is selected from the group consisting of 1,6-hexane diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, 1,4-butane diisocyanate, and isophorone diisocyanate.
- 3. A composition of matter as recited in claim 1, wherein said octafluorohexanediol compound is 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1,6-hexanediol.
- 4. A composition of matter as recited in claim 1, wherein said chlorinated benzene compound is 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorobenzene.
- 5. A composition of matter, consisting essentially of:
- a. about 40 percent by weight of 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1,6-hexanediol;

- e. about 1.5 percent by weight of 1,6-hexane diisocyanate.
- 6. A composition of matter as recited in claim 1, wherein said composition is enclosed in a housing having therein an aperture for the passage of products of combustion of said composition to the exterior of said housing.
- 7. A composition of matter as recited in claim 6, wherein said housing is insulated.
- 8. A composition of matter as recited in claim 7, wherein said insulation is in the form of a phenolic sleeve surrounding said composition.
- 9. A composition of matter as recited in claim 6, wherein an ignition means is also attached to said housing for initiating combustion of said composition.
