Ikon Midstream proudly supplies JP-5, the gold standard for naval aviation fuel. Known for its exceptional safety profile and mission-critical performance, JP-5 is the preferred fuel for carrier-based aircraft and maritime operations worldwide.
What Makes JP-5 Unique?
JP-5 is a high-flash-point kerosene-based jet fuel specifically formulated for the U.S. Navy and other maritime aviation forces:
- High Flash Point: At 60°C (140°F) minimum, JP-5 significantly reduces fire risk in shipboard environments.
- Wide Operational Envelope: Performs reliably in both high-temperature engine environments and extreme weather conditions.
- Color and Safety Indicators: JP-5 is dyed yellow for identification and fuel system safety.
Engineered for Naval Requirements
Ikon’s JP-5 adheres to MIL-DTL-5624 specifications and includes essential additives that support maritime operations:
- Corrosion Inhibitors: Prevent degradation of fuel tanks and lines in humid, salt-rich environments.
- Anti-Static Additives: Reduces the risk of static discharge during fueling on carriers and naval bases.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains integrity in high-performance turbine engines used in naval aircraft.
“JP-5 was built for the demands of the sea and the sky. Our focus is ensuring every drop meets the highest level of reliability and safety.”
