- Benefits
- Reduced fuel consumption and constant engine output
- The combination of SCR Catalysts with AdBlue® by BASF needs higher temperatures in the motor to elevate the exhaust gas temperature for the effective AdBlue NOX reduction. This leads to higher fuel efficiency and less unburned fuels and less sooty particles in the exhaust gasses without affecting engine output.
- AdBlue® by BASF is part of a future-proof concept for the reduction of exhaust emissions. By combining environmental friendliness and cost effectiveness.
- Reduced fuel consumption and constant engine output
Applications & Uses
Safety & Health
- Danger and Health
- AdBlue® is an aqueous solution which poses no hazard under the relevant European chemicals legislation. Furthermore, it is not classified as a hazardous substance under the relevant materials and transport regulations.
- Should small quantities of AdBlue® come into contact with the skin during handling, it can simply be washed off with large quantities of water. A threat to human health can be virtually excluded.

Storage & Handling
- Degradability and Disposal
AdBlue® is easily decomposed by microbes. The hazard which it poses to water and soil is therefore very low. Accordingly, it has been placed in the lowest German water hazard class, WGK 1. Thanks to its outstanding degradability, small quantities of spilled AdBlue® can simply be flushed into the sewer with large quantities of water.
- Storage Information
- To prevent contaminants from impairing the quality, AdBlue® by BASF should be handled only in storage and filling systems intended exclusively for this purpose. Additionally, this handling helps to avoid high testing costs. BASF distributors will be pleased to provide more information.
- Since AdBlue® solidifies at -11°C and decomposes at an accelerated rate at temperatures above 25°C, storage and filling systems must be designed to assure a temperature range of between 30 and -11°C.
