HYDROX 550 still remains fluid even with significant quantities
of water present and is therefore suitable for use in circulatory systems. |

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, white metal bearings and chrome
liner were all found to be in excellent condition, with no signs of wear or corrosion.
No repairs were necessary. |
"On the relatively few occasions when sea water has enterd a sterntube
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 opeating until the next planned mantenance 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." |
