Description

LubeMax Marine SAE 40

Epoxy Oilserv  is the distributor and supplier of Lubemax lubricants in Nigeria.  LubeMax Marine SAE 40, a high-quality multifunctional diesel engine lubricant specially designed for severe-service main propulsion and auxiliary marine trunk-piston engines operating on distillate, hybrid, and bio-fuels with sulphur content of up to 1%. It is also optimised for selected non-engine applications commonly found on board vessels, including gearboxes, clutches, and stern tubes.

PRODUCT APPLICATION

Main Propulsion and Auxiliary Marine Diesel Engines

LubeMax Marine SAE 40 is suitable for highly rated, medium-speed main propulsion and auxiliary trunk-piston stationary and marine diesel engines.

High-Speed Marine Engines

LubeMax Marine SAE 40 can also perform satisfactorily in smaller high-speed engines typically used in fishing fleets operating under arduous conditions and with small sump sizes.

Marine Equipment Applications

The product is suitable for use in turbochargers, oil-filled stern tubes, variable-pitch propellers, deck machinery, and other marine applications requiring SAE 40 viscosity oils.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Extended Oil Life

LubeMax Marine SAE 40 offers excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation, helping to provide longer oil life, especially in high-stress engines operating under severe conditions.

Engine Protection

LubeMax Marine SAE 40 can help extend engine life by reducing deposit formation in the piston ring belt and cylinder liners, helping to reduce the risk of ring sticking and breakage.

Its formulation is also designed to minimise lacquer formation, resulting in better control of oil consumption and reduced operating costs.

System Efficiency

LubeMax Marine SAE 40 is designed to provide greater tolerance to engine overload and poor combustion conditions. It also offers an added safety margin to protect highly loaded bearings in the event of water contamination, supported by improved water tolerance and separation in separators.

Versatile Marine Applications

LubeMax Marine SAE 40 is approved for selected non-engine applications, including gearboxes, clutches, and stern tubes. This versatility can help smaller operators minimise lubricant inventory by reducing the need to keep multiple specialist lubricants on board.
