Principles of Hydrox
Cost savings



If Hydrox is used the vessel can operate continuously despite the presence of large amounts of water in the sterntube.

APPLICATION
1) As a sterntube lubricant where elastomeric lip seals or other modern sealing systems are fitted.

2) As a lubricating / hydraulic oil for C.P.P. units.

3) As the lubricating oil in certain retractable stabilisers (eg Brown Bros., Sperry) where water ingress might otherwise cause damage or equipment failure.

 

SPECIAL PROPERTIES
1) Forms emulsions with water which may enter the sterntube or hydraulic system. These emulsions remain fluid and continue to provide a high standard of lubrication and corrosion protection.

2) Contains the anti-corrosion, anti-oxidant and anti-foam additive packages required of oil for hydraulic applications.

3) Suitable for use in sterntube systems fitted with circulatory oil feed systems.

4) Suitable for use where Fluoroelastomers or Nitrile elastomeric materials are used for sealing.

5) Compatible with most commercially available engine oils used for sterntube lubrication.
