BIOMAX™ Gear EAL

In marine and offshore operations, gear systems face constant stress from high temperatures, heavy loads, and exposure to harsh environments. BIOMAX™ Gear EAL is the ultimate solution, designed to withstand these challenges while maintaining exceptional performance and durability.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Saltwater exposure is a constant challenge in marine settings. BIOMAX™ Gear EAL includes advanced corrosion inhibitors that form a protective barrier on metal surfaces, shielding equipment from rust and degradation.
  • High-Temperature Resilience: Marine environments often involve prolonged exposure to heat, which can degrade traditional lubricants. BIOMAX™ Gear EAL maintains its viscosity and protective properties under extreme heat, reducing the risk of thermal breakdown and ensuring consistent protection.
  • Heavy Load Handling: Gear systems on vessels and offshore equipment experience heavy contact and sliding loads during operation. BIOMAX™ Gear EAL forms a robust lubricating film powered by Synerlec® additive technology, drastically reducing wear and extending the lifespan of critical components.
  • Shock Load Protection: Start-stop operations and sudden changes in load can create intense pressure on gears, potentially leading to damage. BIOMAX™ Gear EAL absorbs these shocks effectively, preserving system integrity and ensuring reliable performance.
  • Long-Term Consistency: BIOMAX™ Gear EAL’s consistent performance over extended periods reduces the need for frequent oil changes, lowering maintenance costs and ensuring uninterrupted operations.

BioMax™ Stern Tube EAL

Marine vessels depend on reliable stern tube lubrication to ensure smooth operation and avoid costly downtime. BIOMAX™ Stern Tube EAL is specifically engineered for this purpose, offering unmatched protection and efficiency for vessels in the most demanding conditions.

  • Enhanced Equipment Reliability: Unplanned downtime due to bearing failures or corrosion can be disruptive and expensive. BIOMAX™ Stern Tube EAL helps prevent these issues, keeping vessels operational for longer periods.
  • Fuel Efficiency Benefits: Reducing friction between moving metal surfaces is critical to optimizing fuel use. BIOMAX™ Stern Tube EAL’s proprietary Synerlec® additive technology minimizes energy consumption, translating into fuel savings and operational cost reductions.
  • Superior Thermal Stability: The harsh conditions of marine environments can degrade standard lubricants. BIOMAX™ Stern Tube EAL maintains its stability even under extreme conditions, extending oil life and reducing waste.
  • Exceptional Corrosion Protection: Saltwater exposure and other corrosive elements pose significant risks to vessel systems. With advanced corrosion inhibitors, BIOMAX™ Stern Tube EAL protects metal surfaces from rust and degradation, ensuring long-term reliability.
  • Seal Compatibility and Ecosystem Protection: BIOMAX™ Stern Tube EAL works seamlessly with stern tube seals, preventing leaks and oil contamination in marine environments. This compatibility ensures compliance with strict environmental regulations while safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem.
  • Energy and Cost Savings: The reduced friction provided by Synerlec® technology enhances performance while lowering energy consumption. This dual benefit supports both operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
