Global fuel and lubricant additive supplier Afton Chemical Corporation announced today the launch of BioTEC™ Performance Additive Solutions, a new family of products for ethanol and biodiesel applications. The use of ethanol and biodiesel based fuels is growing at an accelerating pace around the world and is driven by desires to maximize the use of renewable energy sources, reduce CO₂ emissions, and support farming economies.

This growth presents fuel producers and retailers with new technical and marketing challenges that are well understood by Afton's fuel performance experts. Afton is combining our knowledge of the biofuel marketplace and the leading edge technology of BioTEC™ Performance Additive Solutions to deliver products that help maximize the opportunities in this emerging market segment.
