What's Great about Sanyo Chemical's Low-Temperature Fluidity Improver for Biodiesel Fuel "NEOPROVER"
1
Reduced fuel cold filter plugging point (CFPP)
"NEOPROVER" shows excellent low-temperature flowability enhancement performance for biodiesel fuels and is effective in lowering the Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) of biodiesel fuels.

Compatible with various biodiesel fuels
“NEOPROVER” is effective on a wide variety of biodiesel fuels.
For example, it has been tested on biodiesel sources such as soy, palm, coconut, and Used Cooking Oil (UCO).
What is Biodiesel Fuel (BDF)?
Biodiesel fuel (BDF) is a biofuel for diesel engines that is produced from raw materials such as soybeans, palm, coconut, and used cooking oil.
Like fossil fuels, biodiesel fuel emits CO2 during combustion, but the CO2 emitted during use is offset by the CO2 absorbed during the growth of the plants used as raw materials, resulting in zero CO2 emissions in total, making it a carbon-neutral fuel.
Challenges when using biodiesel fuel at low temperatures
Biodiesel fuel has a higher flow point than diesel fuel and tends to have inferior low-temperature flowability. Therefore, when used in cold climates, fuel flowability may deteriorate, causing plugging of filters and pumps, and low-temperature flowability needs to be improved.
Reduction of cold filter plugging point (CFPP) by low-temperature flow improver for biodiesel fuel "NEOPROVER"
The Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) is an index that evaluates the fluidity and freezing point of fuel.
Adding “NEOPROVER” to biodiesel fuel has the effect of lowering the plugging point of the fuel by 2~4℃, contributing to the use of biodiesel fuel in cold climates.
Test Conditions
CFPP: In accordance with JIS K 2289.
Effect of adding “NEOPROVER HBF-101" to domestic biodiesel fuel (BDF)
“NEOPROVER” works well with a variety of biodiesel fuels.

Comparison with our conventional products
Effect of adding to Company A's biodiesel fuel (BDF)
“NEOPROVER” is superior to conventional products in reducing the cold filter plugging point of biodiesel fuel.

Effect of adding different feedstock types to biodiesel fuel (BDF)
The plugging point reduction effect is also demonstrated for biodiesel fuel made from used cooking oil (rice oil). Therefore, even if the rice oil blending ratio is high, the plugging point reduction effect can be achieved.
