Research Summary
Matches are small sticks or strips made of combustible material, typically wood, with a specialized ignition material on one end. They are used to produce a flame when struck against a rough surface. The most common type of matches, known as safety matches, consist of a small head containing a combination of chemicals, such as sulfur, potassium chlorate, and a binder. When drawn across the rough strip on the matchbox or packaging, the head ignites due to friction and generates a flame. Matches provide a convenient and portable method for starting fires, lighting candles, stoves, or other combustible materials. Safety precautions should be taken when handling and using matches, including keeping them out of reach of children, ensuring proper ventilation, and extinguishing used matches safely.
