[edit]It looks to me that the "<" should be a ">" in front of the "2000 K" in this article. I'll change it after more research.

[edit]"Pyrolant is a made-up word containing the Greek..." - aren't all words "made up" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.189.177.23 (talk) 04:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Merger proposal
[edit]I think this should be merged into thermite - the article states that a pyrolant and a thermite are the same thing, and this article is a stub, while the termite article is huge and comprehensive. I think this could even be turned into a redirect...

The term Pyrolant has a broader scope than the term thermites. Thermites are a subdivision of pyroalnst as they use oxygen-based oxidizers only (mostly metal oxides) whereas pyrolants describe systems containing all kinds of oxidants such as those containing oxygen (nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, borates) but also chlorides, chlorocarbons, fluorides, fluorocarbons, non-metal fluoride e.g.sulfur hexafluoride, any many more.
