2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) Cetane Improver for Diesel Fuel Enhancing Combustion Efficiency and Cold Start Performance

2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN), also known as Isooctyl Nitrate, is a high-performance diesel fuel additive widely used as a cetane number improver for improving diesel combustion quality.

EHN works by accelerating ignition reactions during combustion, reducing ignition delay, enhancing fuel combustion efficiency, and improving engine starting performance. It is extensively applied in automotive diesel, marine fuel, refinery blending, fuel additive formulations, and heavy-duty diesel applications.

Shanghai Prior Chemical provides high-quality 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) with stable supply capacity, strict quality control, competitive pricing, and professional export services for global fuel additive distributors, refineries, and industrial customers.

2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (EHN) is an organic nitrate compound mainly used as a combustion accelerator in diesel fuel formulations.

When added to diesel fuel, EHN rapidly decomposes under combustion conditions and produces active radicals, which help initiate combustion reactions faster.

It improves:

• Diesel ignition quality
• Cetane number performance
• Combustion efficiency
• Engine starting ability
• Fuel stability under various operating conditions

EHN is compatible with:

• Conventional diesel fuel
• Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
• Biodiesel blends
• Industrial diesel formulations

EHN effectively increases diesel cetane number, helping fuel achieve better ignition characteristics and smoother combustion.

Reduces ignition delay time and improves combustion efficiency, especially in high-performance diesel engines.

Improves engine starting reliability in low-temperature environments.

Suitable for different diesel fuel systems, including:

• Automotive diesel
• Marine diesel
• Heavy-duty fuel
• Refinery blended diesel
• Biodiesel mixtures

Produced under strict quality control to ensure consistent performance and reliable supply.

EHN is mainly used to improve:

• Cetane number
