2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate

Performance and application It could improve 2-9 units of cetane if 0.1-0.3% of product was added in the low-light diesel cetane. Otherwise, it could improve the combustion characteristics of diesel, shorten the ignition time and lower the burning point. The product could improve thermal condition power of the locomotive and the fuel-saving effect was very obvious.

Process flow chart by main steps: 2-EHN is produced by 2 ethylhexyl reacting with nitrate acid and followed by purification.
