  • Engine Protection
    Effective acid neutralisation helps ensure protection against excessive cylinder liner and piston ring wear resulting from the use of high sulphur heavy fuel oils, contributing to extended cylinder liner and piston ring life. 
  • Engine Cleanliness
    Helps to prevent ring sticking and minimise deposit formation on the pistons and throughout the combustion chamber exhaust areas. 
  • Storage Stability
    Stable at ambient temperature and during long-term storage.  
  • Compatibility
    Compatible with diesel cylinder lubricants generally known to the international marine trade. 
  • Operating cost
    If oil feed rate is above the minimum level recommended by OEM, there is potential to move to a higher base number formulation to provide the same level of alkalinity and corrosion protection but at lower feed rates, therefore reducing operating cost.
