Description

Biodegradable stern tube lubricant

These lubricants are a range of high performance emulsifying biodegradable oils based on synthetic esters, developed primarily for use in stern tubes and bearings where water ingress may occur. The product meets the criteria in the US Coastguard Vessel General Permit (VGP) definitions for biodegradable, minimally –toxic and non-bio accumulative published by the US EPA in March 2013.

These stern tube oils are intended as drop-in replacements for conventional mineral oils in equipment where there is a risk of accidental spillage or leakage and consequential environmental damage. Next to stern tubes, this product also suited for the application in reduction gear, thruster, spur, couplings and helical and planetary gear units.
