Fuel Research Aluminium Stearate (FRAS), is mixture of chemical substances, used as an incendiary agent by the United Kingdom during the Second World War. It is hygroscopic fuel, composed of "aluminium stearate", petrol, and peptized by xylenol, developed by the Fuel Research Station of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. It was adopted by the Canadian Army in 1942 and by the British War Office 1943. The Australian army leaned towards the adoption of the FRAS, however, due to the instability of the FRAS in the tropical climate, it was discarded.

has abstract	Fuel Research Aluminium Stearate (FRAS), is mixture of chemical substances, used as an incendiary agent by the United Kingdom during the Second World War. It is hygroscopic fuel, composed of "aluminium stearate", petrol, and peptized by xylenol, developed by the Fuel Research Station of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. In the conflict in Europe, it was the fuel of the M1A1 flamethrower. Delivered ready to use. It was used as fuel for individual flamethrowers, for the Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank (standard fuel), and was studied as a precursor in the 5B incendiary paste used in the flame-fougasse. It was adopted by the Canadian Army in 1942 and by the British War Office 1943. The Australian army leaned towards the adoption of the FRAS, however, due to the instability of the FRAS in the tropical climate, it was discarded. (en)
