Fuel Oil Viscosity Improvers are additives that enhance the flow properties of heavy fuel oils, reducing viscosity for better combustion efficiency. They help maintain optimal performance in fuel systems by preventing thickening at lower temperatures. These additives ensure smoother fuel handling and reduce engine wear in industrial and marine applications.

Fuel Oil Viscosity Improvers:

- Size: Typically liquid or polymer-based additives, available in bulk (drums, totes, or tankers).

- Grade: Varies by application (e.g., marine, automotive, industrial).

- Viscosity: Reduces kinematic viscosity (e.g., from 380 cSt to 180 cSt at 50°C).

- Buoyancy: Not applicable (non-buoyant liquid/polymer).

- Material: Polymeric compounds (e.g., olefin copolymers, styrene esters).

Fuel Systems:

- Size: Varies (small pumps to large storage tanks).

- Grade: Compatible with fuel types (e.g., diesel, heavy fuel oil).

- Viscosity: Handles fuels ranging from 2 cSt (diesel) to 700 cSt (HFO).

- Buoyancy: Not applicable (system components are fixed).

- Material: Stainless steel, aluminum, or coated carbon steel.
