Case History
This bulk carrier used HYDROX 550 for 2 years continuously; During this time water was present throughout at levels up to 25%. After 2 years the vessel was dry docked. The shaft, bearings and chrome liner were all found to be in excellent condition, with no signs of wear or corrosion. No repairs were necessary.

 

What our Customer say
“On the relatively few occasions when sea water has entered a stern-tube bearing, HYDROX 550 has allowed effective lubrication of bearings to be maintained in the presence of the sea water. This has enabled the ship to
continue operating until the next planned maintenance date”.

“Stolt-Nielsen vessels use HYDROX 550 as a sterntube lubricant because experience has shown that sea water entry into the sterntube can occur on occasions. Using HYDROX 550 greatly reduces the likelihood of interrupted sailing schedules due to emergency repairs.”
