I would be interested to see that formula. I thought I knew them all, but all the thermite formulas I know require at least a two-stage initiator or a direct blowtorch flame.
Also, the formulas I've seen prescribe much larger particle sizes than the colloidal range used in pigments, to keep reaction rates reasonable.
