Press Release, Cardiff, 05 March 2020: Independent tests have shown that an environmentally friendly fire lighting fuel made in the UK kills 99.999% of bacteria as a solid hand sanitiser.
BS EN 1276 and BS EN 1040 testing have shown that the ‘FireDragon’ solid fuel successfully kills 99.999% of bacteria including e-coli and s.aureaus which is linked with pneumonia and food poisoning.
The FireDragon heating fuel is already in service with the UK Ministry of Defence. It is manufactured in the UK by Cardiff-based BCB International Ltd. The fuel which is made from renewable waste vegetation has a high purity of bio-ethanol.
