Napalm B was developed by Dow Chemical during the Vietnam War as a replacement for the original napalm jelly in firebombs. It is stickier and burns much hotter than the original filler. The Dow formula used 25 percent gasoline, 25 percent benzine, and 50 percent polystyrene. Polystyrene is a common plastic used for such diverse items as toys, styrofoam cups, and packing-filler "peanuts."

It is this quality of polystyrene that makes napalm B so effective for molotov cocktails.
