Hendi 193938 Liquid fuel with wick


This fuel is made of pure diethylene glycol (DEG), which is also used as antifreeze in radiators.
By using a wick the DEG can be vaporized and burned despite its relatively high flame point of 143°C.
Hendi sells this fuel in closed, non-refillable metal cans of 145 or 200 grams.
The burning time of a can is inversely proportional to the intensity of its flame, which may be adjusted by changing the exposed height of the wick.
Use: place the can directly below a chafing dish or other heating appliance suitable for use with liquid fuel open flames.
Burning time: ± 4 hours for 145 gram cans, ± 6 hours for 198 and 200 grams cans.
Heat output: about 50% of ethanol-based burning gel.
Advantages in comparison to burning gel:
- Safer to use. No hazardous refilling. Flame is more visible and predictable.
- Cans stay cool enough to touch safely. May be used without fuel holder.
- Safer in case of accidents. Any spillage will be minimal and difficult to ignite.
- Properly re-sealable and re-usable.
- Easy to extinguish by blowing or replacing the cap.
- Cost per burning hour comparable to ethanol-based burning gel.
- Less intense flame. Reduces chance that Chafing Dish water pans will boil dry.

CAUTION:
Diethylene Glycol is a hazardous irritant.
Always wash hands after skin contact with the liquid, preferably wear latex gloves to adjust the wick height.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is available on the Hendi website, we recommend printing a copy and keeping it nearby.
