Thanks guys, was bugging me didn't realise there was a denser/ larger material released. My thoughts were that the substance in a flare has to leave at a velocity that could reach earth in a few hours, or it would be insignificant to break gravity and would be re absorbed by the sun. However, a greater mass means greater deceleration due to gravity so it makes seance that there would be slower partials that still escape and take days.
