🔥 IMEXMAX Ethanol Biofuel: How to Choose, Where to Use, and How to Burn Safely

Bioethanol is a simple solution for heat and cooking when there is no gas or electricity: at home, outdoors, during a blackout, or in HoReCa (chafing dishes, fondue).
The IMEXMAX line offers gel (70% ethanol) and liquid (96% ethanol) biofuel — both methanol-free, burning cleanly with no smoke or soot.

🧪 Gel 70% or Liquid 96% — Which Is Best for You?

Gel Biofuel (70% ethanol):

• Stable gel: does not spill, safe for open burners, chafing dishes, and fire-starting.
• Produces a stable, “soft” flame — ideal for food warming.
• Can also be used externally as an antiseptic.

Liquid Biofuel (96% ethanol):

• Higher heat output — faster boiling and cooking.
• Perfect for bio fireplaces, ethanol burners, mini-smokers, and concealed burning (flame is less visible).
• Can also be used externally as an antiseptic.

⚠️ Both types burn cleanly; however, without proper ventilation, CO may form. Always ensure airflow.

📏 Choosing the Right Volume: 500 ml, 1000 ml, or 5 L

• 500 ml — trial, trekking kit, occasional home use.
• 1000 ml — regular home/camping use, small HoReCa venues.
• 5 L canister — restaurants, field kitchens, camps, volunteer supply.

4. Flame may be nearly invisible — keep safe distance.
5. Extinguish only by cutting off air supply (lid/cover).
6. Never refill hot or burning containers; refill only when cool.
7. Do not move burning containers.
8. Ensure proper ventilation indoors.

🌍 Typical Use Scenarios

• Blackout / Backup Heat: 96% liquid biofuel in fireplaces provides pleasant, soot-free flame.
• HoReCa: 70% gel ensures stable heating of chafing dishes and fondue sets.
• Camping / Military / Survival: 96% liquid boils water quickly; 70% gel safe for warming and as fire starter.
• Household: Easy fire-starting for grills or stoves, without unpleasant odor.

🛡 Safety Checklist

• Keep away from children.
• Use on a stable, fireproof surface.
• Do not pour into plastic or flammable containers.

• Do not inhale vapors closely; avoid contact with eyes/skin. External antiseptic use only.
• Ensure ventilation to prevent CO buildup.

❓ FAQ

Does it smell?
Only a light ethanol scent when burning — no smoke, soot, or toxic fumes.

What’s the difference between gel and liquid in practice?
Gel is safer for open burners and warming dishes; liquid provides more heat and faster cooking.

Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes, if used in metal containers, with ventilation and proper handling. The flame can be hard to see — be careful.
