NCH specialty lubricants:

Control contaminants and oxidationSuperior additive technology eliminates the harmful effects of contaminants and reduces oxidation. This increases equipment efficiency and lowers power consumption.

Maintain clean systemAdvanced detergents prevent the formation of deposits to keep equipment working at peak performance.

Provide maximum lubricityAdvanced polymer technology keeps lubricants in place even under high stress conditions.

Reduce heat and frictionDecreases energy needed to move parts by providing a superior lubricant film between metal surfaces.

Diesel Mate Plus• Improves fuel quality and enhances engine performance year-round by boosting cetane and inhibiting contamination.

• Contains Tank Tonic, a fuel biocide and preservative that quickly and completely eliminates bacteria and fungi from fuel systems and storage tanks.

Full Blast• Designed to eliminate fuel line blockage

• Keeps tanks, lines, strainers, pumps and valves free of sediments and deposits

• Converts useless sludge into burnable fuel and assures a cleaner system

• Controls water, sludge, corrosion, slag, soot, smoke and other problems

PROBLEMS

Problems With Diesel FuelThese problems cost you money

Problem 1 / Low CetaneThe Engine Manufacturing Association (EMA) requires a minimum of 50 cetane for optimal performance. Below 50 cetane fuel causes:

• Increased stack emissions

• Poor combustion efficiency, loss of power and lower mileage

• Harder starting

• Detonation wear - from violent explosions which damage piston heads, rings, valves and cylinder liners

Problem 2 / Poor lubricityTo reduce stack emissions, the EPA mandates Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel contain no more than 15 ppm of sulfur

• The removal of most of the sulfur, the natural lubricant in diesel fuel can cause both mechanical and chemical wear

• Worn injection systems result in poor fuel economy, excessive stack emissions, equipment down time and engine repair cost

Problem 3 / ContaminantsContaminants form deposits: Today’s diesel fuel contains high levels of contaminants - like wax and acids that clog injectors and contribute to air pollution

Problem 4 / Water contamination + biological growth• Condensation, rainwater and seepage cause water contamination in fuel

• Bacteria and fungi enter fuel through water contamination or air vents

Problem 5 / Exhaust emissionsExhaust emissions have become one of the major problems of the 21st century. The best solution to better engine performance is to consistently improve the quality of the fuel that we run through our equipment

PROBLEMS

Problems With Diesel FuelDeclining quality and rising costs

Fuel quality has deteriorated and costs continue rising

• Rougher grades of crude are being extracted

• Producers take shortcuts in refining

• The best parts of crude are being used to produce gasoline, jet fuel and kerosene

• The refining process used to meet new EPA regulations on ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) results in reduced fuel economy and severe fuel system wear

“Diesel fuel quality has deteriorated for the past 20 years and is expected to continue this trend for the foreseeable future”

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Pub. 10056
