Considering Certified Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Products


What Is DEF?

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a urea solution which is used in conjunction with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) converter. The SCR reacts with the diesel exhaust that results in a chemical breakdown producing water vapor and plain nitrogen. This solution can also be referred to as AdBlue or AUS32 ensuring the quality standardsaccord with the specification of ISO 22241.

Security of DEF Product While Buying

Whenever you think to purchase any DEF product, make sure that it displays the certification of the International Organization for Standardization ISO 22241-1, German Institute of Standardization DIN70700, American Petroleum Institute (API),and meet the specifications of AUS–32.This way, you can get the right DEF product with complete purity.

Can You Make DEF On Your Own?

It is recommended to not try making DEF by individuals who are not professionals for this process. There are strict requirements for manufacturing and maintaining purity and concentration of ingredients that are essential for proper functionality and durability of SCR system.

Companies like Cummins are required use with SCR systems meeting all specifications of ISO22241along with the requirements of API certification. It is better to buy only a certified DEF product and avoid blending it on your own.
