Peak Blue Def 2.5 Galones
What is BLUEDEF?
It is a mixture of 35.5% high purity synthetic urea and 67.5% deionized or demineralized water that is used in selective catalytic reduction (SRC) systems in diesel engines.
DEF is the main ingredient used to help convert NOx into harmless nitrogen and water. BlueDEF is stable, colorless, nonflammable, nontoxic, and classified as "minimal risk" for transportation.
BlueDEF complies with the ISO-22241-1 specification for DEF, is API registered.
Handling and storage:
Shelf life is directly related to storage temperature. A storage temperature between 12° and 86° F is recommended to maintain optimal shelf life of up to two years. If frozen, its effectiveness will not be affected when thawed. To maintain DEF purity and prevent damage to the SCR catalyst system, care must be taken with the material of construction of all components that come into contact with the DEF solution. ISO-22241-1 standards list materials recommended and not recommended for contact with DEF.
