Jet fuel
Jet fuel is mainly composed of two categories of fuel used in the aviation sector:
Jet fuels must have specific characteristics as regards stability, storage stability, thermal stability, lubricity, fluidity, viscosity, freezing point, volatility, non-corrosivity and different other purity (absence of solid particles and water-free) and safety properties (flash point, electrical conductivity). Therefore, many additives are present in the fuel.
