Product Description
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) | Cetane Improver Diesel Fuel Additive
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN), also known as Isooctyl Nitrate, is one of the most widely used diesel fuel additives for increasing cetane number. It is a high-efficiency ignition improver designed to enhance diesel combustion performance, reduce ignition delay, improve cold-start capability, and decrease exhaust emissions.
EHN decomposes rapidly under combustion conditions to generate reactive radicals, accelerating fuel ignition and promoting more complete combustion. It is extensively used in automotive diesel, marine fuels, heavy-duty transportation fuels, and premium diesel blending formulations.
Key Features
- Efficient Cetane Number Improver
- Improves Cold Start Performance
- Reduces Ignition Delay
- Enhances Combustion Efficiency
- Lowers Fuel Consumption
- Decreases Smoke and Particulate Emissions
- Excellent Compatibility with Diesel Fuel
- Suitable for Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
- Stable Storage Characteristics
Product Applications
- Diesel Fuel Additives: Improve cetane number and combustion characteristics
- Premium Diesel Blending: Used by refineries and fuel terminals to meet cetane specifications
- Heavy-Duty Transportation: Applicable to trucks, buses, and construction machinery
- Marine Fuel: Enhances ignition quality and operational stability
- Industrial Diesel Generators: Improves fuel efficiency and starting reliability
