It burns smokelessly, has a high energy density, does not liquify while burning and leaves no ashes. Invented in Murrhardt, Germany in 1932, its main components are 1,3,5-trioxane and hexamine. While many companies produce similar products, they are commonly referred to by the name of their German manufacturer, Esbit.
