DEF Committee- What is DEF? Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a urea based product to neutralize the oxides of • nitrogen in the diesel engines exhaust. DEF is manufactured from urea based animal byproducts. DEF is a water-based fluid that is inserted in the diesel engine’s exhaust stream • and chemically reacts with the oxides of nitrogen (NoX) to neutralize them. The DEF is chemically basic and NoX is chemically acetic. When the two combine chemically, the NoX component of the exhaust stream is neutralized thus meeting USEPA Tier-4 requirements.
