Anticorrosion
The fuel distribution system, from refinery through to the combustion chamber of the vehicle, is susceptible to corrosion from water that may be present in the fuel. Antirust additives help reduce rust formation in fuel storage and delivery systems. This results in reduced maintenance costs for pipes and tanks, as well as reduced risk of filter blocking due to rust deposits..
Antifoaming
Antifoam additives help reduce the tendency of diesel to foam in fuel delivery systems, resulting in faster and cleaner (no spillage) tank fill. Antifoam additives enable the maximum amount of fuel possible to be added during the fill stop.
Cetane Improvement
Our cetane number improver favors diesel fuel combustion characteristics, resulting in:
- Reduced starting time in cold weather
- Reduced engine noise
- Reduced white smoke during warm up
- Reduced emissions
- Maximum power
Cold Flow Improvement
When middle distillate fuels are cooled to temperatures below their cloud points, wax crystals form within the fuel. Cold flow additives provide improved pour point and operability performance that
- Reduces the risk of wax plugging filters and lines
- Improves fuel handling
- Improves low-temperature vehicle operability, reducing starting time and maintaining maximum power
- May offer improved refining economics through upgrading of heavier products to the diesel pool (or kerosene upgrading to jet)

De-icer
Provides fuel "anti-icing" protection when free water may contaminate the fuel.
Demulsibility
Diesel fuel containing polar molecules will form emulsions with free water. Demulsifiers prevent haze formation and achieve water/fuel separation.
Detergency
Optimal fuel injector spray patterns are essential to an efficient combustion process in diesel engines. The deposit of carbonaceous, combustion waste products on the injector can have a degrade the spray pattern. This may result in perceptible power losses, increased emissions and decreased fuel economy.
Other types of deposits, identified as internal injector deposits, can also degrade the operation of the fuel injection system. This may lead to slowed injector dynamics, increased combustion noise and vibration, and engine hesitation. In addition, the quantity of fuel injected may as much as double, impacting engine emissions.
Fuel Stabilisation
Thermal and oxidative degradation of diesel fuel is a common problem that can result in fuel darkening, deposits and filter blockage. Fuel stabiliser systems can reduce fuel darkening, reduce the risk of stalling due to filter blockage, reduce maintenance costs of replacement filters and ultimately contribute to less vehicle downtime.
Lubricity Improvement
Lubricity improvers provide improved fuel lubrication characteristics to severely hydro-desulphurised fuels (e.g. ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel) and help prevent wear to fuel pumps and fuel injectors.
