What was the full name of the chemical injected into the SR-71's engines to start them?

Question

TEB. Is all I can remeber its called. What the full name. If you own a copy of Sled Driver its in there.

Answer 1

When the engines of the aircraft are started, puffs of tetraethylborane (TEB), which ignites on contact with air, are injected into the engines to produce temperatures high enough to initially ignite the JP-7 fuel. The TEB produces a characteristic puff of greenish flame that could often be seen as the engines were ignited. TEB was also used to ignite the afterburners.

Answer 2

The Blackbird also required a shot of TEB or Triethylborane, a catalyst that ignited the fuel.
