Antistatic agents are fuel additives used to reduce the risk of static electricity buildup in fuel tanks and pipelines. These agents are typically composed of surfactants, which reduce the surface tension of the fuel and prevent the formation of static electricity. They also help to disperse water droplets in the fuel, which can cause corrosion and other damage. Antistatic agents are used in a variety of fuel types, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
The antistatic agent market is driven by the increasing demand for fuel additives in the transportation and aviation industries. The growing demand for fuel efficiency and the need to reduce emissions are also driving the market. Additionally, the increasing use of biofuels is expected to create opportunities for the antistatic agent market.
Some of the major companies in the antistatic agent market include BASF SE, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil Corporation, The Dow Chemical Company, and Innospec Inc. Show Less Read more
