We offer Fuel Oil CST 180 which is used widely in marine and industrial sectors.
Furnace Oil CST 180 Furnace Oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Broadly speaking fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power, except oils having a flash point of approximately 40 °C (104 °F) and oils burned in cotton or wool-wick burners. Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkaline, cyclo-alkaline and aromatics.
Furnace Oil is a residual fuel (motor spirit / gasoline, high speed diesel and kerosene are distillate fuels). It is a dark, viscous liquid at room temperature. It is a complex mix of hydrocarbons with carbon atoms ranging mainly from 20 to 55. It is produced by blending residues from various refinery processing units and diluting with middle distillates.
Features: Correct formulation; Purity; Effectiveness; Accurate composition
Usage: Industrial
Packaging: Customized. It acts as a key ingredient in the generation of electricity and heat.

Notes:
- Expected Test Result for CST 180: ≤180.0 cSt (Typical range: ~150–180 cSt)
- CST 180 is a lighter grade with stricter viscosity limits (≤180 cSt).
- All test results meet the specified limits.
- This certificate confirms compliance with industry standards for Burning Grade Furnace Oil.
Furnace oil in the current marketing range meets Bureau of Indian Standards Specification IS : 1593 – 1982 for fuel oils, grade MV2. Viscosity is the most important characteristic in the furnace oil specification. It influences the degree of pre-heat required for handling, storage and satisfactory atomization. If the oil is too viscous it may become difficult to pump, burner may be hard to light and operation may be erratic. Poor atomization may result in the carbon deposits on the burner tips or on the walls. The upper viscosity limit for furnace oil is such that it can be handled without heating in the storage tank is excepting under server cold conditions. Pre-heating is necessary for proper atomization.

Storage and Handling
Reactivity Data – Chemically stable and incompatible with strong oxidizers. Does not React vigorously with common materials but can react with oxidizing agents. Health Hazard Data – Routes of entry may be through inhalation/ ingestion/ skin/ eye.
Ingestion – may cause spontaneous vomiting, irritation of mouth throat and gastro intestinal tract. On prolonged exposure it makes skin dry, erythema oil acne, development of warty growths which may lead to skin cancer, skin cracking and contact dermitis. As it is handled at a high temperature, skin contact could produce burns. On exposure to eye it may cause light to moderate irritation. Ingested – do not induce vomiting as it may lead to chemical pneumonitis. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash affected area with water and soap. If eyes are affected, irrigate liberally with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
Reactivity Data – Chemically stable.
