UK sales of
Aspen alkylate petrol grew by a massive 74% in March compared to 2018 figures,
thanks to an increasing uptake from compassionate businesses changing to using
this cleaner type of fuel to be greener and safer in their working practises.
Axel Hildebrand,
Business development manager AAOIL, said: “It’s great to see that businesses in
the UK are finally starting to see the benefits of Aspen Fuel to workers
health, the performance of their machinery and the environment.
"At first,
most companies think that switching to Aspen will be expensive but those that
are willing to give it a fair trial soon realise that they don’t use as much
fuel as they originally thought which makes Aspen the smarter choice given the
benefits it offers over standard petrol designed for cars.”
COSHH
regulations (control of substances harmful to health) are placed in the UK by
the HSE to advise businesses how to follow “best practice” when working with
hazardous substances, when referring to benzene it advises that safer
alternatives should be used where possible.
In the
landscaping and gardening sector, regular petrol falls under COSHH as it
contains benzene which is a class 1 carcinogen.
Aspen alkylate
petrol however, contains virtually no benzene and should therefore be seen as a
direct replacement to reduce exposure. Did you know that simply switching a
2-stroke chainsaw from regular petrol to Aspen alkylate petrol will reduce
benzene emissions by approximately 108 times?
Aspen is
available throughout the UK through a network of garden machinery specialists
over the counter or can alternatively be delivered directly to your premises if
you go through larger amounts of fuel at work.
