We understand the specific needs of high performance diesel fuel markets. With more than 60 years experience in fuel additive chemistry, we have the market knowledge, expertise and capability to deliver advanced fuel treatments and marketing support programmes.

We were the first company to launch an entire ULSD product line that contains less than 15ppm sulfur. Our LEGAL DIESELTM Fuel Additives can be injected downstream of the refinery without requiring fuel re-certification. Today we are a major supplier in North America of cold flow improvers and cetane improvers and a major developer of additives for improving diesel combustion.

Our advanced Performance Plus solutions help marketers to maximize diesel quality from available fuel stocks and allow blenders to meet national fuel specifications. They also provide a cost-effective method of differentiating one fuel from a competitor product.

Our team leads and participates in some of the most influential industry associations including American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), National Conference for Weights and Measures (NCWM), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Independent Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA) and the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB).

Our LEGAL DIESELTM Fuel Additives offer performance without compromise. Developed to compensate for the performance lost during the hydrotreating process, these additives are essentially sulfur-free (contain <15 ppm). Our range includes lubricity improvers, cold flow improvers, fuel stabilizers and corrosion inhibitors.

Our lubricity improvers are a cost-effective way to boost lubricity performance. These products are the only fully synthetic, non-interacting, non-acidic ultra low sulfur lubricity agents available.

We supply corrosion inhibitor lubricity additives for aviation and motor gasolines, jet fuels and other distillate fuels. Our products are the only fully synthetic, ester based, non-interacting, non-acidic, sulfur compliant lubricity additives for use in low sulfur and ultra low sulfur diesel fuels.

Using our LEGAL DIESELTM cold flow improver and pour point depressant products allow fuel handlers to achieve the required pour point depression or the regional low-temperature operability targets in ULSD with an additive containing <15ppm sulfur.

Our additives can also effectively inhibit peroxide formation and protect equipment from damage. Our LEGAL DIESELTM corrosion inhibitor is the only cost-effective solution. The product is the industry's only pipeline-approved corrosion inhibitor containing less than 15 ppm sulfur.

Our Performance Plus Diesel Fuel Additive packages are designed to deliver the performance demanded by today's consumers.

Our Performance Plus Winterized Diesel Additive packages offer superior diesel engine performance across a range of low temperatures and varying fuel qualities. It not only improves the cold flow and lubricity of the fuel, it also utilizes de-icer chemistry to prevent fuel filter and fuel line freezing. Where applicable as part of the package we have added cetane improver to boost engine performance and included components to disperse water as well as prevent corrosion and sludge formation. Wax anti-settling agents are also combined to reduce the rate of wax settling over extended periods of time. This additive package can be regionally formulated to meet specific fuel requirements.

When our advanced additive chemistry is combined with a fuel base stock, our customers are able to create a high performance diesel fuel that can reduce or eliminate the need for expensive kerosene or blending. What is more, you can be assured that the fuel will meet high performance diesel standards expected from a dynamic and demanding marketplace.

Our Performance Plus Multifunctional Diesel Additive packages are designed to boost overall engine performance, prolong engine life and reduce maintenance and harmful emissions. The product restores lost power while improving fuel economy. At the same time, synthetic lubricity improvers lubricate and protect upper cylinder components, O-rings, injectors and pumps against premature wear. The product also reduces exhaust emissions, provides protection against corrosion and ensures fuel stability. Our additive combination can be regionally formulated to meet specific fuel requirements.
