Jet Fuel
Jet Fuel (Jet A-1, Aviation Turbine Fuel) (H3)
Jet A-1 is a high-grade aviation turbine fuel designed to meet stringent international standards. It ensures stable combustion, excellent thermal oxidation stability, and safety at high altitudes. Our product is used in commercial aircraft, aviation services, and industrial turbines requiring superior purity and performance.
Key Features: (H4)
- High Flash Point (Safety): Jet A and Jet A-1 have a minimum flash point of 38°C (100°F), which is significantly higher than gasoline. This makes them less flammable and safer to handle, store, and transport. Jet B has a lower flash point due to its gasoline content, making it more volatile.
- Low Freezing Point (Operational Flexibility): To prevent the fuel from freezing at the extremely low temperatures encountered at high altitudes (often below -30°C), jet fuels have very low freezing points. Jet A-1's lower freezing point allows for international, long-haul flights across diverse climates.
- High Energy Density: Jet fuel offers a high energy density (around 43 MJ/kg), allowing aircraft to carry more energy in less physical space, which is crucial for extended range and payload capacity.
- Thermal Stability: Jet fuel must remain chemically stable and resist oxidation at the high temperatures experienced within the aircraft's fuel system and engines.
- Role in Industry: Naphtha is a vital intermediate product, serving as a fundamental building block for a wide range of consumer products, including plastics, synthetic rubber, and various solvents.
