SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts adds new Infineum additives in Singapore gasoil cargoes

Following a continued review of additives reflected in its FOB Singapore gasoil assessments, S&P Global Platts proposes to begin reflecting the new additives, which have been used around the region.

The additives are as follow:

Product Additive Type Infineum R575 Flow Improver Infineum R709 WAFI Cold Flow Infineum R225 MDFI Cold Flow Infineum R799 WASA Cold Flow

These additives are used by refiners in North Asia.

Platts proposes to add these additives to the list of recognized additives reflected in its assessment process. Platts understands that the additives have also been accepted for use in Australia.

Platts proposed the inclusion of these additives, and others, in a subscriber note published on June 8, 2017. (http://www.platts.com/subscriber-notes-details/27843161)

However, lubricity improver R646 by Infineum will continue to be reviewed.
