AGQM No-Harm List Extended - 9th Test Round completed successfully

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitaetsmanagement Biodiesel e. V. (AGQM) completed its 9th no-harm test round of oxidation stabilizers which resulted in adding three new products to AGQM’s existing no-harm list. Biodiesel producers can thus select from a total of 44 tested products of 25 producers of oxidation stabilizers.
 
Antioxidants assure that Biodiesel made of renewable feedstock remains stable for a longer period of time and thus fit for use. In order to rule out any unwanted interaction of those antioxidants with fossil Diesel fuel when mixed, AGQM developed a wide-range and sophisticated test method in close cooperation with the mineral oil industry – the no-harm test.
Since revising the Biodiesel standard in November 2012 even more stringent requirements concerning increased oxidation stability have been into force. Still, the now completed 9th no-harm test round shows once again that there is an increasing number of products available to reliably achieve the stabilization of Biodiesel. The three additionally included products are:

Baynox Ultra (Lanxess Distribution GmbH)
Ethanox 4740R (SI Group UK Ltd)
Ethanox 4760R (SI Group UK Ltd).

The list of all products tested favourably is available here.
