2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) | High Efficiency Diesel Cetane Improver Additive
Reliable 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate Supplier from China
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN), also known as Isooctyl Nitrate, is a premium-quality organic nitrate compound widely used as a diesel fuel cetane improver.
EHN is designed to enhance diesel combustion performance by shortening ignition delay, improving fuel ignition characteristics, and increasing combustion efficiency. It is an essential additive for modern diesel fuels, especially in applications requiring improved engine performance, fuel economy, and emission control.
Shanghai Prior Chemical supplies high-purity 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) with consistent quality, stable production resources, and professional international export support for fuel additive companies, petroleum distributors, and industrial users worldwide.
Product Overview
What is EHN (2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate)?
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate is a specialized diesel combustion improver belonging to the organic nitrate family.
When blended into diesel fuel, EHN rapidly decomposes during combustion and releases active oxygen-containing radicals, which accelerate fuel ignition and improve combustion efficiency.
By improving the ignition process, EHN helps achieve:
- Higher cetane number
- Shorter ignition delay
- Better fuel combustion
- Improved engine response
- Reduced combustion instability
EHN can be used in various diesel fuel systems, including:
- Automotive diesel fuel
- Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
- Marine diesel fuel
- Biodiesel blends
- Industrial diesel applications
