The HYDROX BIO range will absorb any sea or fresh water which may enter the sterntube to form relatively fluid emulsion which remains stable and therefore reduces the risk of free water being present in the sterntube. The HYDROX BIO range provides an excellent level of lubrication in both neat and emulsion forms. Above 10% water content, it is recommended that some of the emulsion is drained from the system and fresh lubricant added. Conventional oils do not emulsify in the same way and tend to separate, exposing components to free water and potential wear damage.
