ashless
Leaves nothing behind
Ashless describes something that produces no ash when burned, or something from which ash has been removed.
The term appears mainly in technical contexts: ashless filter paper leaves noite when incinerated, making it useful in laboratory analysis.
Ashless dispersants in motor oil prevent residue buildup in engines.
