Abstract (en)

A match incorporating a fire-retardant material together with a method of manufacturing the match are disclosed. The splint (1) of the match is divided into three zones (5,7,9). The first zone (5) of the splint (1), adjacent the head (3) of the match, contains more absorbed paraffin wax than the adjacent second zone (7). The third zone (7) carries fire-retardant material. The paraffin wax in the zones (5,7) is applied by initially dipping the two zones (5,7) into cold, but molten, paraffin wax, and then dipping the first zone (5) into a hot paraffin wax bath. <IMAGE>
