Calcium Carbonate-  4.9%
Sand             -  4.0%
Sulpher          -  3.9%

B:
Hexachloroethane - 45.5%
Zinc Oxide       - 45.5%
Calcium Silicide -  9.0%
 
Note: Because of the high vapor presure of HC, HC smokes must be sealed in
and artight container. Also the Zinc Powder one may react with water so
be carefull.
