Product Description
2-Ethylhexyl nitrate serves predominantly as a high-efficiency cetane number improver for diesel fuel. When dosed at appropriate concentrations, it effectively elevates the diesel cetane rating and optimizes overall combustion performance. The product primarily shortens ignition delay and facilitates faster, more complete fuel combustion. This improvement enhances engine power output, lowers fuel consumption, and reduces harmful exhaust emissions, including particulate matter and nitrogen oxides.
