What is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)?

Diesel Exhaust Fluid, or “DEF,” is an additive that reduces the harmful emissions of nitrogen oxide from diesel engines. It is a urea solution made up of two components: 32.5% high-purity urea, and 67.5% deionized water. DEF is safe to handle, odorless, clear, biodegradable, and non-flammable. Its use is required by the government for all new diesel vehicles.

Texas Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Production

The exhaust produced by diesel-powered vehicles contains Nitrogen Oxides (“NOx”), a group of harmful air pollutants. Diesel Exhaust Fluid is used to “diffuse” the harmful gases. Using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology that the vehicles are equipped with, DEF is injected into the exhaust stream. The SCR system allows the DEF to break down the toxic NOx into water vapor and nitrogen gas. Both nitrogen and water already exist in the air we breathe and have no adverse effects on the environment.
