Product descriptions from the supplier

Ethylhexyl nitrate (also known as 2-EHN) is a chemical compound widely used as a diesel fuel additive to raise the cetane number and improve combustion efficiency

What Is Ethylhexyl Nitrate?

  • Chemical Name: 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate.
  • Formula: C₈H₁₇NO₃.
  • Appearance: Clear, colorless to yellowish liquid.
  • Common Use: It acts as a cetane improver to make diesel burn faster and smoother. [1, 2, 3]

How It Works in Engines

  • Heat Breakdown: It breaks down at about 130°C inside the engine cylinder. [1, 2]
  • Free Radicals: This breakdown releases tiny reactive particles that start the fire sooner. [1]
  • Less Delay: It shortens the time between fuel injection and the start of burning. [1]
  • Better Performance: Engines run with less noise, easier cold starts, and better efficiency. Read more about the effects of EHN on diesel performance. [1, 2, 3]

Safety and Handling

  • Combustible: It can catch fire if exposed to high heat or open flames. [1, 2]
  • Oxidizing Agent: It can react violently if mixed with reducing agents or strong chemicals. [1]
  • Storage: Keep it in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

If you'd like to know more, let me know:

  • Are you looking to buy or use it as a fuel additive for a vehicle?
  • Do you need safety data (MSDS) or chemical properties?
