Fuel Additives
Improve your CII Rating
Whether sticking with HFO or transitioning to marine diesel fuels, Innospec has the solution. A mandatory requirement has been passed since January 1, 2020 to use marine fuels with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5% by mass. These newly compliant fuels may have different impacts on the operability of your fleet.

By partnering with Innospec, Hostmost promotes solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and sustainability to reduce the environmental impact of marine transportation. Hostmost is the Official Distributor of Innospec Fuel Additives in Hong Kong and South China.

Main Products

Innospec's Octamar™ range of combustion catalysts is recognized by the leading ship classification society ClassNK. ClassNK independently verified the performance of Innospec's Octamar™ Ultra HF, Octamar™ Complete and Octamar™ F35C for improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Octamar™ HF-10 Plus received a ‘Statement of Fact’ verifying its performance in maintaining VLSFO stability.

Octamar™ Ultra HF

Provides a complete solution for VLSFO. It keeps your engine running by improving fuel stability and combustion while reducing soot formation. Octamar™ Ultra HF, along with Octamar™ HF-10 PLUS, are the only additives that protect against both distillate sludge and asphaltene sludge.

  • Combines combustion and ignition benefits from one additive
  • Cleaner running from powerful additive technology
  • Improves fuel economy and reduced fouling of exhaust gas systems
  • Increases fuel stability and compatibility of marine fuel blends

 

MSDS Certificate

Octamar™ Complete

Groundbreaking technology for scrubber vessels that enhances fuel stability, ignition, and combustion, while reducing soot formation. It supports SEEMP implementation and helps meet Carbon Intensity Index (CII) ratings.

  • Optimizes energy efficiency, improves ignition and combustion profile, and enhances fuel stability
  • Reduces SFOC, CO₂e, particulate matter and black smoke in exhaust gases, and exhaust system fouling
  • Reduces sludge production
  • Low impact exhaust system cleaning – soot catalyst
  • Fuel stabilizer for overall performance boost

 

MSDS Certificate

Octamar™ BT-25

Heavy fuel dispersant stabilizer and combustion improver: 

  • Maintains fuel stability during blending, handling and storage
  • Disperses existing sludge formation and prevent further agglomeration
  • Improves combustion reducing unburned carbon deposits throughout the engine and exhaust system
  • Cleans up sludge in fuel tanks for improved fuel economy

 

MSDS Certification

Octamar™ HF-10 PLUS

Keeps your engine running by stabilizing fuel blends and reducing sludge formation. Octamar™ HF-10 PLUS , along with Octamar™ Ultra HF, are the only additives that protect against both distillate sludge and asphaltene sludge.

  • Improved compatibility when using new fuels or unknown fuels
  • Safer fuel changeovers for ECAs
  • Stable and homogenous fuel ensures improved combustion
  • Reduced fuel sludge means more fuel to burn
  • Higher treat rates combat injector fouling
