The patent is for IFT’s primary fuel additive formulation, additive-containing fuel compositions and the method of manufacture.
IFT director of science and technology Sergio C. Trindade said securing the patent is a landmark event for IFT.
"For the Patent Office to conclude that our fuel additive for improving fuel efficiency is a unique and novel enough chemical formulation worthy of a patent, speaks volumes about its underlying science and efficacy," Trindade said.
This is the second patent received by IFT which intends to further advance and improve its chemical formulations.
