BF320 - Antioxidant for Biodiesel Production
BF320 is a high-performance liquid antioxidant and metal chelator blend designed to enhance the oxidative stability of biodiesel fuels. Engineered for use with mono-alkyl esters derived from vegetable oils and animal fats, BF320 protects against peroxide formation and decomposition caused by oxidation. It's easy-to-use liquid format disperses uniformly and supports consistent biodiesel quality across various feedstocks.
Benefits & Features
- Improves oxidative stability in diverse biodiesel feedstocks
- Reduces peroxide formation to protect fuel quality
- Extends shelf life and supports ASTM D6751 compliance
- Preserves product integrity during storage and transport
- Provides antioxidant and metal‑chelating protection
- Easy to integrate into existing biodiesel production systems
Mode of Action
BF320 stabilizes biodiesel by delaying oxidation through a dual mechanism: antioxidant molecules inhibit peroxide formation, while chelating agents neutralize pro-oxidant metals. This synergistic action protects fuel against degradation and preserves fuel quality, especially in biodiesel derived from high-risk or variable feedstocks.
Application and Performance
BF320 is intended for use during or after biodiesel production to prevent oxidation-related spoilage.
In performance trials, BF320 demonstrated:
- Extended oxidative stability of biodiesel from both soy and mixed feedstocks
- Uniform dispersion in oil-based systems for reliable performance
- Flexible dosing range to suit various production conditions
Recommended dosage: 150–500 ppm
The exact rate should be determined based on feedstock type and desired fuel stability. Consult your Kemin representative for tailored recommendations.
