Deflagration
From PyroGuide
An explosive that reacts by deflagration rather than detonation when used in its normal manner. Deflagaration is a rapid chemical reaction in which the output of heat is sufficient to enable the reaction to proceed and be accelerated without input of heat from another source. The effect of a deflagration under confinement is an explosion.
