Flash21
Flash21 is Astaris Canada Ltd's new fuel gelling agent. This product is a two-part liquid gelling agent solution which provides a fast, reliable gelling time. This product reaches a desirable viscosity that does not settle in the fuel. Flash21 is designed to be added to fuel as two parts, an A and a B - one litre of each. One box of Flash21 has 12 litres of product, six of Flash21A and six of Flash21B. One litre of A and one litre of B will gel 45 imp. gallons of fuel.
Flash21 can be mixed with various fuels including straight gas, diesel, Jet A or Jet B if available. Using Jet A alone will produce a good gel, but because of the low flash point of this type of fuel, you may need to add 20-30% straight gas to produce a better ignition point.
MIXING
- Ensure mixing drum is clean.
- Start stirring 45 imp. gallons of fuel.
- Add one litre of Flash21A - continue to stir.
- Add one litre of Flash21B - continue to stir.
- Fuel will gel to desired viscosity in less than five minutes - warm temperatures will not affect the gel quality of this product.
ADVANTAGES
- Flash21 was developed to allow users to mix this product with fuel regardless of temperature, ensuring a consistent gelled fuel mixture. Flash21 gelled fuel will not lose viscosity, allowing use of gel during the entire burning operations.
- This product mixes and disperses throughout the fuel with no lumping and sets up quickly.
For additional information on safety and handling, please refer to the product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets, which are available for both products.
