JLM Lubricants Achieves TUV Standard

JLM Lubricants, owned by GMS Lubricants in The Netherlands, is the first company to achieve the new TUV Rheinland Certification Standard for valve saver additives. The new standard was developed by HTW University of Applied Sciences (HTWdS) in Germany and TUV Rheinland. Ian Humphreys at JLM said: “JLM has worked extensively with HTW University and TUV Rheinland to develop the testing procedures and guidelines, and provided the first product for testing against this new standard. As leaders in the industry for more than 11 years, GMS have many years of experience in providing leading edge products, and led the way in 2010 by being the first to have a fully finished valve saver additive formulation independently tested and proven to work. We have proven this yet again by achieving the world’s first TUV standard for valve seat recession.”

The HTWdS has been involved in the testing and development of lpg autogas and cng engines since 2005.

Volker Witte at the Automotive Powertrain Institute at HTWdS said: “One of the main reasons we developed this laboratory type testing standard is so all valve saver products can be tested, measured and compared in exactly the same way. Here, we are capable of reproducing the most demanding driving conditions to really put these types of products through their paces.

“The JLM Valve Saver Fluid proved very convincingly that it provided very good protection in stopping the excessive valve seat recession found during testing.”
