AdBlue®
is a highly pure 32.5 percent aqueous urea solution, non-toxic, environmentally friendly and clear as water. AdBlue®
is used for cleaning exhaust emissions from diesel engines and the trademark rights for the name AdBlue®
lie with the VDA (Association of the Automotive Industry).
AdBlue®
is metered into the exhaust gas flow of the diesel engine. Due to the high temperature AdBlue®
Ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are released, which react in the catalytic converter with the harmful nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas and are converted into nitrogen (N) and water (H2O). This chemical process reduces nitrogen oxide emissions 90%
reduced.
