1. Product Overview & Specifications

Chemical Name: 2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate (Isooctyl Nitrate)

CAS No.: 27247-96-7

Molecular Formula: C₈H₁₇NO₃

Molecular Weight: 175.23 g/mol

2. Key Applications & Industry Uses

Primary Function: Cetane improver for diesel fuels

• Enhances ignition efficiency by increasing cetane number (2–9 units at 0.1–0.3% dosage)
• Reduces engine knocking and emissions in refinery-grade diesel
• Improves cold-start performance in heavy-duty vehicles

Secondary Applications:

• Solvent in specialty chemical formulations
• Intermediate in organic synthesis

3. Performance Comparison with Alternatives

4. Operational Guidelines & Best Practices

Dosage Calculation: 0.1% addition improves CN by 2–3 units in refinery diesel

Blending Protocol:

1. Pre-test base fuel cetane number
2. Add 0.1–0.3% v/v under 40–60°C agitation
3. Maintain 2-hour homogenization before distribution

Safety Compliance: UN 3139 packaging, Class 3 flammability
