Physical properties of cetane number improvers and anti-wear agents in hydrogenation
Thread Content
Prepare a discharge pump to remove the cetane improver and anti-wear agent from the tank truck respectively. I’m not sure whether these two substances are toxic or flammable; seeking advice from experts
Cetane number improvers, primarily alkyl nitrates such as amyl nitrate, octyl nitrate, and cyclohexyl nitrate. It is a flammable substance. Try adding some soybean oil or other vegetable oils as an anti-wear agent; it should have some effect.
I produce products for practical use. Isooctyl nitrate-based cetane improvers have a flash point of over 77°C, with values of up to 80°C actually achievable. The flash point of anti-wear agents is even higher, exceeding 160°C. However, peroxide-based cetane improvers have a very low flash point.
