Vickers Oils NEOX D is a high-viscosity, emulsifiable, grease-like stern tube lubricant applied using a grease applicator. It dramatically reduces wear to stern tube bearings in the event of sea water ingress.
Applications: Stern tube bearings and compression seals, and lubrication of trunnion bearings on some older Rolls Royce (Brown Brothers) retractable fin stabilisers. Not recommended for use with elastomer lip stern seals.
Benefits: Dramatically reduces wear to stern tube bearings in the event of sea water ingress, high-viscosity and emulsifiable, grease-like at ambient temperatures, applied using a grease applicator, superior wear protection even when water ingress occurs.
Technical profile: High-viscosity, grease-like lubricant at ambient temperatures, applied using a grease applicator.
Approvals/environmental profile: Mineral oil based product, not an EAL.
