Platts proposes including five Veolia additives in Singapore gasoil

Following a continued review of recognized additives in the FOB Singapore gasoil assessment process, Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to begin reflecting five new additives from Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions.

The additives are:

Additive NameAdditive Type

Spec-Aid 8Q5376Lubricity improver

Spec-Aid 8Q5201Cold Flow Improver

Spec-Aid 8Q5011Cold Flow Improver

Spec-Aid 8Q400DMetal Deactivator

Spec-Aid 8Q902Conductivity Improver

Platts proposes to add the additives to the list of recognized additives reflected in its assessment process, found here: /content/dam/spglobal/ci/en/documents/platts/en/our-methodology/methodology-specifications/Asia-refined-oil-products-methodology.pdf.

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.
