Pyrotechnics are mixtures of substances that produce noise, light, heat, smoke, or motion when ignited. They are used in matches, incendiaries, and other igniters; in fireworks and flares; in fuses and other initiators for primary explosives; in delay trains; and for powering mechanical devices.

Military pyrotechnics include a wide range of devices for illumination, signaling, incineration, and gas generation. Military pyrotechnic devices are characterized by more rugged construction and greater resistance to adverse environmental conditions with concomitant higher cost, reliability, and safety than are civilian pyrotechnics.

Magnesium/Tefion/Viton (MTV) pyrotechnics are used by the Armed Forces to manufacture rocket motor igniters and flare decoys. MTV is currently manufactured using the shock-gel process.
