Platts proposes to include Clariant cold flow improver additives in Singapore gasoil assessment process

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 three new gasoil cold flow additives by Clariant.

The additives are as follows:

Clariant Type
DODIFLOWTM S-123A MDFI Cold Flow Improver
DODIFLOWTM S-319E MDFI Cold Flow Improver
DODIFLOWTM S-154C WAFI Cold Flow Improver

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

For the full list of previously included additives, please see: /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.
