Sanyo Chemical Industries said its newly developed CFI significantly enhances the low-temperature performance of biodiesel fuels, helping to prevent engine malfunctions in cold climates.  

 



This innovation supports the expanded adoption of biodiesel across diverse regions, contributing to reduced CO2 emissions and fostering sustainable energy adoption, Sanyo Chemical Industries said.  

 



The company stated that its new NeoProver HBF-101 CFI is highly effective in lowering the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) of biodiesel fuels, significantly improving their low-temperature flowability.  

 



CFPP is an index that evaluates the fluidity and freezing point of fuel.  

 



It works effectively with biodiesel fuels derived from diverse feedstocks including soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil and used cooking oils, according to Sanyo Chemical Industries.  

 



“Its versatile performance ensures seamless application across diverse feedstocks and regions, enabling reliable operation in cold climates and during winter months,” the company said.
