Our cigar matchsticks consist of thin wooden strips, usually soft wood such as aspen, white pine, aspen, or silk cotton. Then it is soaked in ammonium phosphate, which helps to prevent the smoldering of matches. It is also a flame retardant and paraffin wax.
After the soak, it is immersed in a chemical mixture solution of potassium chlorate, antimony trisulfide, powder glass, and glue. This combination of chemicals makes the stick a reddish color. The percussion bars of the cardboard boxes of these matchsticks are made of a mixture of powdered glass and phosphorous.
The strict adherence to the quality production of these matches ensures their safety and quality.
