International Fuel Technology - Fuel Surfactant Additives

International Fuel Technology (IFT) is a leading developer of multi-functional surfactant additives designed to enhance the overall performance and characteristics of liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

ENHANCED HYDROCARBON FUEL BENEFITS

As one of the first companies to have developed a method to introduce beneficial surfactant molecules to fuels without altering standard fuel specifications, IFT is able to deliver an incredible array of enhanced fuel characteristics, including:

• Proven 3% to 7% improvement in fuel economy
• Increased lubricity and detergency factors
• Significant reduction in harmful emissions
• Elimination of water in fuel systems
• Foaming prevention
• Corrosion prevention
• Enhanced fuel stability, oxidation stability and biostability
• Lower maintenance costs
• Longer life for parts and engines

IFT products enable users to achieve more environmentally friendly operations and create immense savings on fuel and maintenance costs.

HYDROCARBON FUEL ADDITIVE APPLICATIONS

IFT's surfactant additives are used in hydrocarbon fuel worldwide in the following markets:

• Road transportation
• Rail
• Marine
• Heavy-duty equipment
• Stationary power generation

DIESOLIFT™ DIESEL AND BIODIESEL FUEL ADDITIVES

IFT's primary focus is the DiesoLIFT line of additives, designed specifically for use in diesel fuel and biodiesel blends.

DiesoLIFT 10 is IFT's product engineered for use in standard diesel fuel, including low sulfur diesel, regular sulfur diesel, farm diesel (red diesel), etc. This is the most widely used IFT product blend, creating 3% to 7% fuel economy improvements for end-users in various applications, in addition to a series of maintenance benefits.

DiesoLIFT EM1 is IFT's product engineered for use in biodiesel and biodiesel blends. It delivers the same benefits as DiesoLIFT 10 but with an enhanced ability to improve stability issues in biodiesel and biodiesel blends.

IFT has also recently made DiesoLIFT BD-3 available to the marketplace. DiesoLIFT BD-3 is a reformulated version of DiesoLIFT EM-1 that offers the same series of benefits, but with an even greater ability to alleviate stability issues in biodiesel and biodiesel blends.

GASOLIFT™ AND KEROLIFT™ NON-DIESEL FUEL ADDITIVES

IFT also offers a series of product lines for non-diesel applications, based on the same surfactant-based chemistry as the DiesoLIFT formulations.

GasoLIFT products are engineered for use in gasoline and ethanol blends and deliver many of the same benefits as DiesoLIFT products, including a significant increase in fuel economy.

KeroLIFT products are engineered for use with heating oils and burners.

FUEL ADDITIVE TESTING

As part of a comprehensive verification initiative, IFT products have undergone stringent testing at some of the world's top engineering research facilities and the multi-functional benefits are witnessed first-hand in thousands of applications every day. Engineering test facilities which have verified the efficacy of IFT's products include:

• The Southwest Research Institute (USA)
• Prodrive (UK)
• FERIC (Canada)
• MI Technologies / Interfleet (UK)
• Motive Power (US)
