AdBlue® is a key component for the efficiency of diesel vehicles that use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. To ensure this system functions properly, it is essential that the AdBlue® solution you use meets high-quality standards. Let’s take a look at how you can determine whether your urea solution meets the necessary quality requirements.
Quality Standards – ISO 22241
One of the main ways to ensure that your AdBlue® is high quality is to check whether it complies with the international ISO 22241 standard. This standard defines the exact requirements for the composition of AdBlue®, including the correct urea concentration (32.5%), which is the main component of the solution. If the product is certified under this standard, you can be sure that it is safe for your vehicle and the environment.
Appearance Check
High-quality AdBlue® should have a clear, colorless, and transparent consistency. If you notice any impurities or a change in color (such as a grayish tint or cloudiness), this may indicate contamination or improper storage. A product with impurities can damage the SCR system and reduce the efficiency of the vehicle.
Purity Test
One simple way to test the purity of AdBlue® is to check its temperature and density. A high-quality product should freeze at around -11°C while maintaining its consistency and remaining clear in cold conditions. If you notice deviations in these characteristics, the product may not meet the required standards.
Manufacturer and Verified Supplier
Always choose AdBlue® from reputable and certified suppliers who ensure their product has undergone all necessary tests and inspections. Purchasing from unauthorized or unknown sources puts you at risk of receiving counterfeit or low-quality products. BAMIA (Bulgarian Association for the Manufacture and Import of Aqueous Urea Solutions) provides certification and quality control to ensure the safety and reliability of AdBlue®.
The quality of AdBlue® is critical to the efficiency of your vehicle and environmental protection. Regularly check whether the product meets quality standards by ensuring it has the right consistency and comes from a trusted supplier. By using only high-quality AdBlue®, you can be sure that your vehicle will run smoothly and comply with environmental standards.
