Igniting agents

Abstract

The invention relates to igniting agents, which contain soluble, preferably water-soluble igniting substances.

1 . Igniting agent, characterized in that said igniting agent contains soluble, preferably water-soluble, igniting substances.  
     
     
         2 . Igniting agent according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the soluble igniting substance is selected from salts of nitrotetrazole, azotetrazole, and/or nitroaminotetrazole, or mixtures of these salts.  
     
     
         3 . Igniting agent according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the soluble igniting substance is selected from cesium nitrotetrazolate, cesium azotetrazolate, potassium nitroaminotetrazolate, or mixtures of these salts.  
     
     
         4 . Igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  3 , characterized in that the soluble igniting substance is selected from organically soluble, explosive polymers or mixtures of these polymers.  
     
     
         5 . Igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  4 , characterized in that the soluble igniting substance is selected from polynitrophenylene, nitropolyether, poly-1(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-5-5′-ditetrazole, or mixtures of these substances.  
     
     
         6 . Igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  5 , characterized in that suitable binding agents are added to the soluble igniting substance.  
     
     
         7 . Igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  6 , characterized in that the binding agent is selected from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohols, cellulose derivatives, or mixtures of these binding agents.  
     
     
         8 . Igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  7 , characterized in that said igniting agent contains adhesin as binding agent.  
     
     
         9 . Igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  8 , characterized in that said igniting agent contains added soluble dyes, fluorescence indicators, or X-ray tracers such as sodium tungstate.  
     
     
         10 . Method of producing an igniting agent according to one of more of claims  1  through  9 , characterized in that the soluble igniting substances are dissolved in a suitable solvent, and suitable binding agents are optionally added.  
     
     
         11 . Use of an igniting agent according to one or more of claims  1  through  9  as an ignition layer on metallic layer element igniters, glow wire igniters, or high tension igniters.
