The ignition method of matches is friction, so the fuel on the head of the match is very important. The workers first pour the gelatin as the adhesive into a continuous stirring machine, and then pour substances such as potassium chlorate, manganese dioxide, sulfur, glass powder, and pigment dyes. Continue stirring for 40 minutes, allowing the gelatin and these flammable substances to fully blend together. After the raw materials for the match head are made, the match stem can be made. The match stem uses carbonated wood to ensure that it does not smolder. These cut wooden sticks will be put into the machine for automatic production. Due to the use of fully automated mechanical equipment, approximately 2 million matches can be made in one hour, while hundreds of millions of matches can be made in one day. Isn't this number very astonishing!

The manufacturing of match powder heads is the same as that of wooden stick matches, which are processed into a common match continuous machine and dipped with medicine to make matches. But there is no need to apply wax before applying the medicine. The adhesion between the wax stem and the medicine head is poor. Before applying the medicine slurry, pre-treatment is required to remove the wax layer on the surface of the stem end (where the medicine is applied) and slightly loosen the paper layer to increase the adhesion between the medicine head and the stem; The drying of the medicine head is carried out at a lower temperature (20-40 ℃) to avoid the melting of paraffin in the stem.
