I\'ve found a whole lot on flare guns, but very little specifics about the ammunition. I\'m looking for information on flare gun ammunition. More specifically the components of a typical flare.

What does signature do?

Quoting wikipedia

Flares produce their light through the combustion of a pyrotechnic composition. The ingredients are varied, but often based on strontium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or potassium perchlorate and mixed with a fuel such as charcoal, sulfur, sawdust, aluminium, magnesium, or a suitable polymeric resin.[3] Flares may be colored by the inclusion of pyrotechnic colorants. Calcium flares are used underwater to illuminate submerged objects.
