Please, give a synonim of this word in the following context.
Each single factory should identify the products which are exposed to fire related to punking/hot embers.
Ignition sources might be electrical faults or sparks, welding, smoking, hot melt/sparks, forklifts, charging stations, hot processes, self-ignition (paint, oil-filled clothes etc.), punking, hot slag, or coffee makers, cookers, radios and fans (household equipment).
Thanks.

Definitions of "punk" on the Web:
* A slow burning wick for lighting the fireworks.
www.fireworks.com/safety/glossary.asp
A punk is a stick used for lighting firework fuses. It is safer than a match or a lighter because it can be used from a greater distance and does not use an open flame. Punks often resemble sticks of incense.They're made of bamboo and a brown coating.
www.wen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk (fireworks)
Insulation-related incidents are some of the most common types involving organic HTF systems. Typically, a leak occurs at a flange or instrument connection and soaks into the pipework insulation (e.g., calcium silicate, Fibreglass, mineral wool). Eventually the saturated insulation is ignited when the circulating fluid and the piping heat the HTF and, in the presence of air, slowly oxidise the fluid. This produces low AIT components which results in a "punking" type fire. This fire can act as an ignition source for other fires.
