The Amazing Art of Matchsticks Manufacturing Behind the Flames

A match is a tool for starting a fire. Typically, matches are made of small wooden sticks or stiff paper. One end is coated with a material that can be ignited by friction generated by striking the match against a suitable surface.
The match head contains a mixture of two chemicals, phosphorus sesquisulfide P4S3 and potassium chlorate(v), KClO3. When the match is struck, the heat of friction is sufficient to ignite the phosphorus sesquisulfide.
In 1826, John Walker, a chemist in Stockton on Tees, discovered through lucky accident that a stick coated with chemicals burst into flame when scraped across his hearth at home. He went on to invent the first friction match.
