Product Information

x are reduced by the ammonia into water and nitrogen, which are both nonpolluting. The water and nitrogen are then released into the atmosphere through the exhaust. [6] Diesel exhaust fluid ( DEF; also known as AUS 32 and marketed as AdBlue [3]) is a liquid used to reduce the amount of air pollution created by a diesel engine. Specifically, DEF is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. DEF is consumed in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) that lowers the concentration of nitrogen oxides ( NO AdBlue® is generally considered to reduce NOx emissions by over 90%, making it a crucial tool for improving air quality and combatting environmental issues.

By contrast, Peugeot estimates that its cars can travel 12,000 miles between refills — the same as its servicing intervals. How will drivers know if AdBlue needs topping up? Clean Air Zones, such as London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone, require diesel cars and vans to be Euro6, otherwise a daily charge is required to enter the zone. AdBlue has become key in helping reduce NOx output from engines as standards have sharpened for transportation vehicles, as well as off-road vehicles and passenger engines.

How much AdBlue will my car use?

AdBlue® reduces Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions. Nitrogen oxide is a harmful gas that can damage the human respiratory system, reducing lung function, increasing allergen exposure and the risk of respiratory illnesses. It promotes the formation of fine particulate pollution and ground ozone – harmful to both health and vegetation. The fluid used in most vehicles is known asAdBlue, aregisteredtrademark owned by the German Association of the Automobile Industry (VDA), which ensures standards are maintained. The fluid is stored in a tank in the car, butunlike petrol or diesel it is not injected into the engine; instead it is fed intopart of the vehicle’s exhaust. A chemical reaction convertsthe harmful NOxexhaust gases into harmless nitrogen and water.

As Selective Catalytic Reduction relies on DEFs like AdBlue to function, it is incredibly important that you remember to top up your AdBlue levels when needed. You can either do this yourself, or you can choose to have a professional garage perform this service for you. Hazard Identification" (PDF). Urea Solution 32,5% Material Safety Sheet. Fertiberia. 21 August 2008. p.2. 3.1– For Human Health … The product has a low toxicity and it is not considered that it could be harmful to health. … 3.1.5. – Long-term effects: … Urea is a substance that appears in the body as a result of proteins during metabolism, it is eliminated with the urine.Air pollution caused mostly by traffic emissions contributes to some seven million deaths worldwide every year according to the World Health Organisation, with the Royal College of Physicians concluding that traffic fumes have played a big part in the early deaths of 40,000 people in the UK. Diesel engines specifically have been the subject of much criticism due to their higher levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, which can negatively impact respiratory health.

Garages should refill AdBlue as part of a diesel car’s routine servicing. However, it’s possible to refill a tank of AdBlue yourself. AdBlue is a colourless, non-toxic mixture of urea and de-ionised water. It’s not actually blue at all. Nearly 97% of South Korea's urea imports came from China between January and September. In 2015, South Korea had made it mandatory for diesel cars to use urea solutions to control emissions, a move that now impacts 40% of registered vehicles. Diesel vehicles made since 2015 were required to be fitted with SCR systems. [27] The South Korean government started rationing urea solution, and banned its resale as panic buying by drivers exacerbated an acute shortage that could cause transport and industry to grind to a halt. [28] A KC-330 Cygnus sent to import Diesel exhaust fluid from Australia to ease a supply shortage of the key material used in diesel vehicles. [29] Australia [ edit ]Whilst most AdBlue mixes are made up of the same quantities of urea (32.5%) and de-ionised water (67.5%), you may find some solutions called something different, BlueTech or Bluedef, or simply “urea solution”.
