The IONOL® BF range – 100% active, no harm approved stabilizers with superior performance.
In every phase of its lifecycle, from manufacturing to storage to combustion in the engine, biodiesel is subjected to oxidative influences. The process starts with degradation reactions that cause undesired polymers, aggressive acids and peroxides. Due to its natural composition, biodiesel ages a lot faster than fossil diesel and its use-by date is very often exceeded by the time the biofuel finally makes it to the end-user.
The international biodiesel norms, (e.g. EN 14214 or ASTM D 6751) demand the adherence to the specified oxidation stability. The global specifications for fossil diesel (e.g. EN 590 or ASTM D 975) clearly prescribe that only in-spec biodiesel may be blended with fossil diesel. Oxiris has developed a range of Antioxidants that significantly extend the shelf life of Biodiesel so it remains in-spec – enabling longer storage and transit times and remove the need for costly emergency treatment at a later date: Specifically designed to optimize biodiesel stability our range of additives is marketed under the brand name IONOL® for BioFuel, or IONOL® BF for short.
As the base fatty acid for the biodiesel can influence how much and which antioxidant is required, Oxiris also offer a RANCIMAT testing service that allows us to use our own in-house expertise to individually recommend the optimum antioxidant solution for each customer
