Here you get quick and easy information to understand the different materials of the Trangia world.
Our products originate from a high-quality aluminum alloy that offers simplicity, functionality, and durability for outdoor cooking, while also being lightweight. The Trangia stove is available in various material combinations for windshields, pots and frying pans. Additionally, all parts in the different materials can be purchased separately, allowing the user to customize their own unique combination.
Our advanced base material is a lightweight material with excellent heat conduction ability. The Ultralight (UL) alloy, also known as 5005, is 50 percent stronger than regular aluminum (alloy 1050). This allows the cookware to be made thinner and the stoves to be lighter without compromising on durability and functionality. This makes it suitable for many users who want a simple, functional, and durable stove.
+ Low weight & excellent heat conduction
- Soft material, prone to denting
Hard anodizing is a surface treatment that makes the aluminum surface hard and resistant to scratches, with a gray matte finish. The treatment provides protection against wear and corrosion, and HA aluminum is therefore slightly easier to clean than Ultralight. The weight is the same as the equivalent product in UL because the treatment penetrates the material. Suitable for users who previously appreciated our titanium cookware, as they have the same weight and are scratch-resistant.
+ Low weight & durable scratch-resistant surface
- More expensive than the base material UL
Trangia’s nonstick is a type of PTFE and is mainly used in our frying pans and pots. Nonstick cookware is made from discs in Ultralight aluminum with a coating. This prevents food from sticking even with little or no cooking oil. This means they are also easy to clean. At the same time, nonstick is more sensitive, and we recommend using only wooden or plastic utensils in these cookware.
+ Easy to clean
- Less durable coating
Our unique Duossal 2.0™ super laminate consists of aluminum and stainless steel pressed together under high pressure. It is an optimal combination where the aluminum exterior provides excellent heat conductivity, while the stainless steel interior makes the cookware scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The material thickness is 0.8 mm, with 0.3 mm being stainless steel. This provides sturdy vessels for real outdoor cooking.
+ Durable vessels with optimal heat conductivity
- More expensive than the base material UL and slightly heavier
Trangia stove 25-4 UL/GB
The product number is more well-known than our article numbers, but what do all the numbers and abbreviations mean? They represent the size, contents, and material of different variants of our Trangia stoves. This coding system has been used since the 1950s.
Why is the large storm cooker called 25 and the small one called 27? Simple, the model 25 came first. Then, stove number 27 was introduced, and as a smaller stove, the Mini Trangia 28. Before stove number 25, which was named in 1951 and initially existed in a single variant, there were other articles that came before, such as number 22, 23, and Camping set 24.
EcoPaXX™ is a high-performance polyamide with 70% bio-based content derived from the castor plant, resulting in a low carbon footprint. Our T-spoon and Multidisc for the Mess tin are made from this high-quality material.
The Multidisc for the Trangia stove is made of heat-resistant and food-approved Polyamide PA66. It serves as a strainer, cutting board, snow-carrying plate, lid after cooking, and protective cover for the frying pan – a versatile material with multiple functions.
The material our fuel bottle is made of is HDPE, which stands for high-density polyethylene. It is known for its durability and strong structure. It is a thermoplastic material that is easy to handle and recyclable.
Recycled felted wool, minimum 50% wool and maximum 50% synthetic, 2mm thickness. Our wool products are the result of a local collaboration. Made from recycled wool from Woolpower’s production.
The traditional orange Trangia cover, available in five sizes.
Roll-top bags for the stove and mess tin as well as the insert for the mess tin (65% polyester & 35% cotton).
EVA cases for the stove and mess tin. Outer fabric: 600D P/Oxford PU. Lining: Poly Brush Tricot EVA hardness:75 /Thickness: 5T.
At Trangia, we strive for sustainability and recycling in every step of the manufacturing process. Our materials come in pre-cut discs to minimize waste. After production, any waste is sorted at the factory based on quality, providing high recycling value as the material is pure from other substances. It is then delivered to industrial recyclers.
Our packaging materials are made from environmentally approved cardboard and are 100% recyclable. The consumer packaging is made from CrownBoard Craft, certified according to FSC® standards. We report our annual consumption of packaging and consumer packaging to National Packaging Association (NPA) and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, and we also participate in the German system “Der grune punkt” for the accountability of consumer goods packaging materials.
As an individual, when it comes to recycling we encourage you to bring your Trangia stove for metal recycling at a manned recycling center. The consumer packaging can be easily sorted at your local recycling station for household packaging. Please inquire with your municipality to find out where these stations are located.
We make things that work better and last longer. Our products solve real problems with clean design and honest materials.Our philosophy is to first search locally here in Jämtland to find raw materials and materials. Then we look within Sweden and then Europe. We consider other places in the world only if it is absolutely necessary. The aluminum, which is our main raw material, comes from European suppliers and is made up of 50% recycled aluminum. The material for our pots, pans, and windshields is delivered in pre-cut discs with various shapes and coatings. Smaller details in brass, stainless steel, and aluminum are manufactured from strips in the respective materials.
