Understand the important role of AdBlue emissions treatment solution
Reducing the emissions of vehicles emitted by vehicles is a major focus of countries around the world..
Under the increasing pressure of environmental pollution, governments around the world have issued strict regulations on car emissions.

What effect does AdBlue have on diesel engines?
Learn about adblue
AdBlue® is a diesel engine exhaust gas treatment solution consisting of 32.5% high purity urea* and 67.5% deionized water, in compliance with ISO22241. Urea is produced from ammonia and CO2 (carbon dioxide). AdBlue® is used by vehicles equipped with SCR technology (selective catalytic reduction), such as heavy trucks, buses, construction machinery and from September 2014.
AdBlue solution is biodegradable, soluble in water and colorless, AdBlue® crystallizes at -11°C and decomposes into ammonia from 80°C (from 30°C). AdBlue® is a registered trademark of the German Automobile Industry Association (VDA).
How does AdBlue work?
AdBlue acts as a catalyst, helping to turn harmful substances such as NOx (nitrogen oxide) in diesel engine exhaust into harmless substances (water and harmless nitrogen). When hot emissions meet AdBlue and pass through the SCR catalytic converter, they will have a chemical reaction that turns NOx into nitrogen and water. As a result, toxic emissions, especially NOx, are significantly reduced, helping to protect the environment and public health.
