Cutter Stock
What Is Cutter Stock?
Altiras distributes bulk cutter stock. Cutter stock is a low-viscosity petroleum product used to adjust the properties of heavier fuel oils and industrial blends. It is commonly added to high-viscosity residual fuels, bunker fuels, and asphalt blends to reduce thickness and improve flow characteristics. Cutter stock is typically derived from straight-run distillates, light cycle oils, or other refinery streams with specific boiling ranges and flash points.
Cutter stock plays a key role in fuel formulation and waste oil recovery, ensuring that off-spec or heavy fuels can meet the required specifications for industrial, marine, and power generation applications.
Key Characteristics of Cutter Stock
- Low viscosity for blending with high-viscosity fuels
- Adjustable flash point depending on application needs
- Can be sourced from refinery distillates, recycled fuel, or other hydrocarbons
- Improves handling and pumpability of heavy fuel oils
- Used in various fuel, asphalt, and lubricating oil formulations
Who Uses Cutter Stock?
Cutter stock is essential for industries and facilities that handle or refine heavy petroleum products, including:
- Refineries – Adjusting viscosity and fuel properties in blending operations
- Fuel Distributors – Enhancing fuel flow characteristics for customers
- Marine Industry – Blending with bunker fuel to meet operational requirements
