Bag in Box (BIB) Packaging for AdBlue Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

What is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) used in diesel vehicles to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) particles. Diesel vehicles are now required to meet tough NOx standards to help control air pollution. The preferred method involves injecting Diesel Exhaust Fluid into the exhaust system.

Composed of de-ionised water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%), AdBlue is a brand name registered by the German Association of the Automotive Industry, often used interchangeably with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).

How does AdBlue Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) work?

AdBlue is required for selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The fluid enters the exhaust system of a vehicle, where the aqueous urea is converted into ammonia and carbon dioxide. This ammonia (NH3) reduces the amount of NOx particles by converting them into harmless water (H20) and nitrogen (N2), which are themselves released into the atmosphere through the exhaust system.
