    Phenolic resin used as a pyrotecnic binder

    What is the most flammable common plastic?

    The question pretty much says it all. This has to do with a pyrotechnic flare device. Looking for a tube type case that will burn away rapidly with the flare composition. In searching the web, it appears polystyrene may be the most likely candidate. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
