Vickers Oils NEOX DTX sterntube lubricant

Vickers Oils NEOX DTX is a mineral-based soft grease with a consistency approximating NLGI No. 4. It provides a very high standard of lubrication and corrosion protection and works as a protective coating for exposed equipment. Applications: Grease-lubricated stern tubes, wire ropes and rigging, container lashings and shackle threads, hatch cover bearings and runners, deck winches and slipway rails, and as a protective dressing where sea, fresh or condensation water may contaminate the system. Benefits: Very high standard of lubrication and corrosion protection, soft grease consistency, absorbs contaminating water to form a thick viscous emulsion that provides both lubrication and anti-corrosion properties, adheres well to metal, excellent resistance to the washing action of sea or rain water, does not harden excessively or crack in cold, wet conditions. Technical profile: Soft grease approximating NLGI No. 4, pour point 50 °C (ASTM D7346), flash point >205 °C (SETA), density 0.9 kg/l at 15 °C, mineral-based. Approvals/environmental profile: Mineral oil based product, not an EAL.
