Gelling agents play a vital role in the preparation of gel fuels or oxidants. The gelation of liquids is mainly achieved through the interaction of gelling agents. During the gelation process, gelling agents first self-assemble through weak non-covalent interactions to form fibrous, rod-shaped or spherical aggregates. Subsequently, these aggregates are further assembled into three-dimensional network structures to capture droplets and prevent their flow. In addition, gels are usually formed by multiple interactions between molecules, and the driving forces include weak interactions such as hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking, van der Waals forces, coordination, hydrophilic/hydrophobic effects, and electrostatic effects. Compared with traditional inorganic gelling agents represented by fumed silica and organic macromolecular gelling agents represented by cellulose and its derivatives, organic small molecule gelling agents (LMMGs) have the advantages of low addition amount, good rheology, and less combustion residue.

Gel fuel tin container is applied to package gel fuel, jelly fuel, solid fuel or dry fuel.

The gel fuel is easy to transported, the jelly fuel tin container is made with good weld seam, and slip top lids.
