Technical Characteristics

• Its high cetane index ensures an excellent ignition quality, fast start-up and less engine noise.
• The lower sulphur content ensures an effective protection against wear.
• Excellent lubricity and reduction of pollutant emissions as it contains 5% by volume of Biodiesel B100.
• High calorific power guarantees an efficient combustion.
• Contains a package of last-generation additives that grants it the following advantages:
• Cleans the injectors for an optimum pulverization and therefore improves the combustion.
• Protects the fuel injection pump.
• Protects against corrosion.
• Separates the water in an optimum manner, as it contains a demulsifier.
• Improves performance.
• Reduces the expenses of maintenance.
• Extends the life time of the engine.
• Controls the foam during fueling, which offers better comfort and filling speed.
• Protects the environment, as it reduces the emission of Contaminating Gases and Unburnt Hydrocarbons.

Uses
