2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate CAS#27247-96-7
Significantly Enhances Diesel Cetane Number: Adding 2-ethylhexyl nitrate effectively raises the cetane rating of diesel fuel, leading to smoother and more efficient ignition performance.
Improves Combustion Quality and Efficiency: By shortening the ignition delay period, the additive enables faster and more complete combustion, resulting in better overall engine responsiveness and operational stability.
Boosts Engine Power While Reducing Fuel Consumption: More efficient combustion allows the engine to generate higher power output with less fuel, contributing to improved performance and enhanced fuel economy.
Reduces Harmful Exhaust Emissions: The additive helps lower the formation of pollutants such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, supporting cleaner engine operation and reduced environmental impact.
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate CAS#27247-96-7
2-Ethylhexyl nitrate is primarily used as a cetane number enhancer in diesel fuel. When added in suitable amounts, it can greatly raise the diesel’s cetane rating and enhance combustion efficiency. It works by shortening the ignition delay period, allowing the fuel to burn more quickly and thoroughly. As a result, engine power output is increased, fuel consumption is reduced, and harmful emissions—such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides—are effectively lowered.
