VISCOPLEX^® Cold Flow Improvers for Biodiesel

RohMax is a global leader in improving the cold flow properties of a wide range of both petroleum- and natural oil-based fluids and lubricants. Our VISCOPLEX^® Cold Flow Improver (CFI) additives modify low temperature crystal formation, helping biodiesel from a variety of sources meet the low temperature requirements of current fuel standards.

VISCOPLEX^® Cold Flow Improvers have broad applicability and show benefits in many tests and many biodiesel types. In particular, they can:

• Improve the Cold Flow Plugging Point (CFPP) of biodiesel B100 from different sources, such as Soy Methyl Ester (SME), Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME), or Palm Methyl Ester (PME), enabling:
  • increased value for product sold against a CFPP target
  • expanded sales of biodiesel in colder periods or regions than previously possible without a VISCOPLEX^® CFI
  • improved biodiesel low temperature handling properties while minimizing sedimentation and solidification
• Allow blends of FAMEs with good and poor low temperature performance to meet the required specifications
• Improve the CFPP of blends of biodiesel (SME, RME, PME) with fossil diesel thereby extending the range of Bxx blend ratios that meet the required fuel specifications
