Platts proposes including Baker Hughes additives in Singapore gasoil

Following a continued review of recognized additives contained in the FOB Singapore gasoil assessment process, S&P Global Platts proposes to begin reflecting four new additives by Baker Hughes.

These additives are:

Additive Name
Additive Type
TOLAD3922A
Anti-oxidant
TOLAD3910
Anti-oxidant
TOLAD9037
Anti-oxidant
TOLAD4600
Metal deactivator

Platts proposes to add these additives to the list of recognized additives reflected in its assessment process.

The list of Platts gasoil recognized additives is intended to provide clarity to market participants regarding which additives are generally considered to be merchantable and accepted for cargoes delivered through the Platts Market on Close assessment process in Singapore.

Platts does not align its FOB Singapore additives acceptance to any particular importing country.
