Key specifications and technical properties of Fuel Lubricity Additives and Fuel Systems:
- Size: Typically available in liquid form with particle sizes ranging from 1-100 microns for solid additives.
- Grade: Industrial, automotive, marine, or aviation grades depending on application.
- Viscosity: Varies from 1-500 cSt (centistokes) at 40°C, depending on formulation.
- Buoyancy: Generally not applicable as most additives are liquid or soluble in fuel.
- Material: Commonly composed of esters, fatty acids, or synthetic compounds.
- Flash Point: Typically above 60°C to ensure safe handling.
- Density: Ranges from 0.8-1.2 g/cm³, depending on chemical composition.
- Solubility: Fully soluble in diesel, biodiesel, or other hydrocarbon fuels.
- Concentration: Used in ppm (parts per million) levels, usually 100-500 ppm.
- Compatibility: Compatible with elastomers, metals, and fuel system components.
- Pour Point: Typically below -20°C to ensure cold-weather performance.
- Sulfur Content: Often ultra-low (<10 ppm) to meet environmental regulations.
