Sunflower Methyl Ester
Sunflower Methyl Ester is ester of fatty
acids derived from Sunflower as the main feedstock. The physical characteristics of Vegetable Methyl Esters are closer to those
of fossil diesel fuels than pure vegetable oils, but properties depending on the type of
vegetable oil. A mixture of different fatty acid methyl esters is commonly referred to as biodiesel, which is a renewable alternative fuel. Sunflower Methyl Ester has physical properties similar to those of conventional
diesel. It is also non-toxic and biodegradable.Some properties of biodiesel are different from those of fossil diesel and for correct low
temperature behavior and for slowing down oxidation processes biodiesel requires a different set of additives than fossil diesel. Impurities, such as metals, in Sunflower Methyl Ester must be limited for use as a motor fuel
