Description

Application
Cetane is often used as a shorthand for cetane number a measure of the detonation of diesel fuel. Cetane ignites very easily under compression for this reason it is assigned a cetane number of 100 and serves as a reference for other fuel mixtures.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.
