Petroleum-Fuel Dyes and Markers

Petroleum-fuel dyes are aromatic substances that are used to add color characteristics to gasoline and other petroleum products. 

They possess inherent characteristics such as solubility and intense color and exhibit good affinity towards the end-use substrate. 

Petroleum markers on the other hand are colourless substances, which when added to fuels are detected by adding a specific reagent.

Petroleum dyes and markers are used in applications where different grades of fuels are required to be distinguished, to prevent fuel adulteration and theft, and to add aesthetic appeal to fuels.

Key Drivers

The following are the key drivers of the global petroleum-fuel dyes and markers market:

Increasing production of petroleum and petroleum-based products: The global demand for petroleum and petroleum-based products is increasing due to the growing population and rising standards of living. 

This is leading to the increased production of petroleum and petroleum-based products, which in turn is driving the demand for petroleum-fuel dyes and markers.

Rising adulteration of petroleum: 

Petroleum adulteration is the practice of adding unauthorized substances to petroleum products in order to increase their volume or improve their appearance. 

This is a major problem in many countries, and it is estimated that up to 20% of petroleum products sold in some countries are adulterated. Petroleum-fuel dyes and markers can be used to detect petroleum adulteration, which is helping to combat this problem.

An increasing number of government laws regarding fuel taxes: 

Governments around the world are increasingly imposing taxes on fuel in order to raise revenue and reduce pollution. 

This is leading to the increased use of petroleum-fuel dyes and markers, which can be used to differentiate between taxed and untaxed fuels.
