Midland, Michigan-based Institute of Materials has just launched a new, updated website, InstituteofMaterials.com, containing a new powerful IOM online lubricant database which provides the industry with access to global engine oil data available by geographic region.
According to the company, the database contains over ten years of unbiased engine oil data generated on oils collected from around the globe. The Institute of Materials (IOM) collected and analyzed engine oils from the market and provides the tools for subscribers to select and analyze the data quickly in a useful format.
IOM says its engine oil data has numerous uses including comparing crucial competitor properties, auditing blend consistency, monitoring formulation changes, assessing oil quality in the marketplace, discovering trends in technology, and using the data for technical or marketing presentations. Multiple devices such as phones and tablets can now be used to access and order IOM data from across the globe.
The updated IOM website, InstituteofMaterials.com, allows 24/7 access to browse thousands of engine oils collected from the marketplace with each oil tested according to a test matrix of over 30 industry standard tests. Data sets collected from the Americas, Asia-Pacific (including Australia and India), Africa, and European regions for any yearback to 2005 can be purchased online as Regional Databases.
The IOM database website can also be used to purchase Custom Datasets that can be filtered by year, brand name, supplier, SAE Grade, service class, oil type (mineral or synthetic), engine type (gasoline or diesel), country, or region. With the advanced Analysis Tools features, subscribers can search oils applying detailed search criteria and generate graphical comparisons in an attractive professional format.
