PROBLEM. SOLU
Conventional oil and water don't mix, which is bad news if water should enter a stern tube,
The lubrication provided to the shaft and bearings will be of a very poor standard.
THE RESULT? Interrupted schedules and expensive repairs and maintenance.
Hydrox forms stable emulsions which continue to provide effective lubrication even when significant quantities of water are present in the stern tube.
THE RESULT?
Protection of shaft and bearings from wear and corrosion. No interruption to sailing schedules.
And no expensive unplanned maintenance.
ENGINE OIL + 20% Water
HYDROX + 20% Water
HYDROX.
You can rely on it. Insist on it.
