Premium 12 Gauge Cartridges
Our 12 Gauge gas flare cartridge fires a sub-calibre projectile with a sparkling tail of incandescent particles of a temperature sufficient to ignite a gas flare stack. The pellet’s trajectory is controlled by an enclosed guide tube. When the gas flare ignition cartridge exits the tube and connects with the impact plate, multiple incendiary sparks ignite the flare gas jet.

An Accurate & Safe Solution
Such precise technology means that the risk of human error – which remains a prominent issue with traditional shotgun flare and signal flare methods – is removed. The cartridges also incorporate additional features to further improve safety measures. In the unlikely event that the system malfunctions, cartridges become inert in under 5 seconds and cannot be lit.
