Young University student, Wilbert Machoba, has launched five eco-friendly products made from environmentally friendly chemicals.
The products are a product of his company, Chilbur Chemicals.
One of the products, Burtrol, is already being distributed through the country’s leading supermarkets.
“On January 13, we launched Burtrol alongside four new products which are Pure Mukwa oil, Heat gel, Pine gel, and Hard Surface cleaner.
“It is not about the names but their exceptional functionality through our new additional ingredients and formulation.
“Innovation does not mean producing a new product but improving and changing the existing products to be better, functional and to provide exceptional cleaning and hygiene results with minimum efforts.
“Our concentrated formulas are highly effective, requiring less raw materials and reducing waste.
“Burtrol products are infused with refreshing and pleasant scents that leave your home smelling fresh.”
He added: “By investing in research and development, our team continuously explores new ingredients and formulations to create the best possible products for our customers.
“Burtrol’s products are designed to provide exceptional cleaning and hygiene results with minimum effort.
“By being the first chemical company to fully invest in technology and AI, we provide a better service to our customers.
“We are currently creating Chilbur AI and an invoice automation system which is to be launched on 23 April 2025.
“This will increase the productivity and creativity of both our team and customers.
“We want Burtrol to be a normal and popular name in households, a brand known for its excellence and power.”
Machoba said the products will focus on contributing to clean energy.
“In this category we decided to start with heat gel, which is a fuel that burns cleanly, producing minimal smoke and no soot.
“This makes it a healthier option in your houses compared to traditional wood or charcoal, as they reduce indoor air pollution.
“It also enhances safety because it is less flammable compared to liquid fuels, making it safer to handle and store. In the event of a spill, the gel does not spread rapidly, reducing the risk of accidents but it is a more convenient gel fuel that ignites and provides consistent heat, making cooking faster and more efficient,” he said.
He said Burtrol’s pine gel is a versatile, eco-friendly cleaning agent made primarily from pine oil.
“It is an excellent cleaning agent for various surfaces, including tiles, counter tops, walls, floors and bathrooms.
“It’s grease cutting and dirt-removal properties make it ideal for tough cleaning tasks.
“It contains antibacterial and antifungal components, making it effective in killing germs and maintaining hygienic conditions.
“It is a multi-surface cleaner and its pleasant fragrance makes it an exceptional choice for every household.”
He said Burtrol’s new hard surface cleaner is a game changer in the cleaning industry, setting a new standard for performance and environmental responsibility.
