Yeah, it’s super nasty stuff… From memory, its burning because of a chemical reaction, it isn’t ignited as such. This means it burns far hotter (and so passes through building materials better) and can’t be put out via water/smothering, etc…
This is precisely why is a war crime to use, because it indiscriminately kills everything. I may be a bit rough on the details, but you get the idea!
It is illegal to employ as a weapon to target enemy personnel. However, using it as illumination or an incendiary against equipment is accepted practice.
