TRU GRIT Marine Stern Tube Oil HS

Emulsifiable Lubricant for oil filled stern tubes

Product Description

TRU GRIT Marine Stern Tube Oil HS is designed specifically for stern tubes with non-circulatory oil-filled lubrication systems and is particularly recommended where oil must be prevented from leaking

past damaged or worn aft seals.

The vast majority of ships today are fitted with oil lubricated stern tubes. The stern tube bearings and the tail shaft are required to operate reliably, often in extreme conditions due to vibration, water

ingress, flexing of the vessel’s structure, movement of the vessel in heavy seas and with variations of speed and temperature.

TRU GRIT Marine Stern Tube Oil HS is specifically designed as a stern tube lubricant for non-

circulatory oil filled systems, where face or labyrinth seals are fitted.

Applications

Stern Tubes where an emulsifying type of oil is required to prevent leakage past damaged or worn aft

seals.

Benefits

o Minimises oil leakage past worn or damaged aft seals o Minimises the risk of water ingress by absorbing large amounts of water

o Provides a very high level of lubrication protection against corrosion o Adheres well to metal surfaces and is not easily washed off

o

Please note that TRU GRIT Marine Stern Tube Oil HS is not recommended for use with rubber lip type seal systems.
