Short English Product Introduction (For Customer Promotion)

2‑Ethylhexyl Nitrate (2‑EHN) 2‑EHN is the most widely used cetane improver for diesel fuel. It decomposes during compression ignition to generate free radicals, effectively shortening ignition delay and lifting cetane value. It features good compatibility with all common diesel streams and fuel additives. Suitable for refinery blending, terminal fuel treatment and off‑road diesel.
