Northshore CF16 / CF20 / CF40

Paraffin crystals that develop as fuel cools can restrict flow and filterability. Cold flow additive response depends on the base fuel and blend composition, so selection starts with representative fuel samples and the required seasonal performance.

CF16, CF20 and CF40 act on paraffin crystal growth. Selecting among the grades considers fuel response as well as the site’s additive handling arrangements.

CF16 and CF20 are viscous liquids. CF40 is supplied as a highly viscous liquid to solid. The handling distinction helps plan storage and transfer; the grade numbers do not represent winter performance ratings.

Review the fuel blend, biodiesel content where applicable, cloud point, current cold filter plugging point and seasonal target. Screen candidate grades in the actual finished blend.

Confirm the blending sequence and injection conditions. Addition while the fuel is above its cloud point is part of the documented application guidance.
