How Cataclean Works

Part 1. Cataclean as a Fuel Treatment In internal combustion engines, incomplete combustion occurs at high temperatures and pressures when there is insufficient oxygen to completely oxidise the fuel to CO2 and water. The by-products of this incomplete oxidation result in environmentally harmful compounds such as CO, NOx, and a mixture of organic chemicals. Catalytic converters are included in vehicles to convert these by-products to less harmful chemicals. Over time, the catalytic converter may become less efficient due to the build-up of carbon deposits from incomplete combustion. The main constituents of the Cataclean formulation are: acetone, isopropanol, xylene, and long-chain hydrocarbons, namely paraffin. The two primary functions of these constituents are: 1.) Produce oxygen to help with oxidation of the layer of carbon deposits on the catalytic surface and 2.) Produce a carboxylic acid vapour which helps in the cleaning of the catalytic converter. Part 2. Overall effect of Cataclean on internal combustion engine performance Pre-combustion effects: The Cataclean formulation is differentiated by containing solvents to help remove deposits that may be formed in fuel delivery systems pre-combustion. Deposits may form on fuel lines, injectors, sensors, or filters, which result in increased fuel consumption and reduced engine performance. Post-combustion effects: As Cataclean components combust with the fuel, the by-products remove deposits, such as carbon build-up from the vehicle's exhaust system, catalytic converter, and oxygen sensors. The post-combustion vapours from Cataclean help to revitalise the catalytic converter so that harmful emissions are removed from the exhaust more readily. This cleaning improves the performance of the catalytic converter and increases vehicle performance.

Pour and Go
