Strike anywhere match. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the tip of an unburnt match. The head of a match is usually made from paraffin and combustible chemicals,including phosphorous trisulphide,which burns at low temperatures. This is a 'strike anywhere' match. The head contains all the chemicals necessary to light it from frictional heat,unlike a safety match where the oxidizing agent and the combustible body are kept separate.
