Fuel Performance
Fuel Antioxidants & Diesel Stabilizers
Fuel antioxidants are used to limit oxidation reactions that can affect fuel quality during storage and distribution. Selection depends on fuel composition, existing stability, handling conditions and the properties to be maintained.
Discuss your application
Application and function
Oxidation can contribute to gum, peroxide and insoluble-material formation. Fuels containing reactive components, including some cracked or high-olefin streams, may require particular attention during blending and storage.
Antioxidant treatment can interrupt oxidation reactions. Starting fuel quality and treatment timing matter. Gasoline, middle-distillate and renewable-fuel blends require individual application reviews.
Information for selection
- Blend composition and existing oxidation-stability results
- Storage duration and exposure to air, heat or light
- Gum, sediment, peroxide or color changes being investigated
- Other additives and finished-fuel requirements
Evaluate the response
Compare treated and untreated fuel using a stability method suited to the fuel type. Include the quality observations relevant to the application over an appropriate evaluation period.
Use the results to establish a treatment recommendation and addition point. Evaluation should account for the intended storage and distribution conditions.
Discuss product selection
Share the application, operating conditions and requirements that matter to your evaluation. Product-specific properties, use guidance and handling information are provided in the relevant product data sheet and safety data sheet.
