Integer Research Launches Canadian Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Locator

LONDON, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The site is supported by Canadian DEF distributors, vehicle manufacturers, equipment suppliers, trade groups and the American Petroleum Institute (API).

Currently, five truck stops offer DEF at the pump, all operated by Pilot Flying J.

About Diesel Exhaust Fluid and Selective Catalytic Reduction

Environment Canada's harmonisation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2010 emissions standards for on-highway vehicles has led to the widespread adoption of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology by medium and heavy-duty truck manufacturers. SCR works by spraying DEF into the exhaust stream to destroy dangerous NOx chemicals using an advanced catalyst system, significantly reducing pollution.

DEF is a non-toxic solution comprised of 32.5% pure urea in 67.5% de-ionized water.
