Thruster – Stop Water Ingress
Thruster Stop Water Ingress
Stop water ingress and leakages in your thrusters with ABCON MARINE-THRUSTER Stop Leak products. Reduce wear and tear and continue operation without dry-docking.
Water ingress is damaging to the system as it causes less lubricity and more corrosion. Our THRUSTER Stop Leak product is a stop leak paste that stops water ingress and solves the problem. By adding on of our ABCON MARINE-THRUSTER Stop Leak products, a layer of teflon particles will create a barrier around the leaking seal which stops water ingress and leakages.
All our THRUSTER Stop Leak products have hydraulic oil as a base oil. As a result, they are compatible with gear and hydraulic oil and can, therefore, be used on fixed propellers and CPP propeller systems. In addition, it protects the bearings and seals against wear and tear, thus, reduces the risk of future water ingress. We also deliver to rotating thrusters both Azimuth and Azipot. All base oils which suits system
Quantity Measurements
- With a smaller water ingress (below 0,5 liters/hour), we recommend our THRUSTER SL
- With a larger water ingress (between 0,5-2 liters/hour), we suggest our THRUSTER SLL
- With a major water ingress (between 2-4 liters/hour), we advise you to buy our THRUSTER SLLL
The SLL and SLLL have the same properties as the SL, but are developed with larger and more complex particles which increases the effect on larger leakages.
Function
The high content of complex particles produces a kind of a sealing layer on top of the seal ring. Consequently, the leakage is significantly reduced or stopped.
When the product is blended with the existing system oil, the blend consitutes an excellent lubrication, which due to the teflon particles, maintains the lubricating effect even with saltwater in the oil.
Bio Based Versions
ABCON products are also available in Bio degradable oil based versions with both saturated and unsaterated ester. They all comply with the 2013 EPA VGP requirements as environmentally acceptable. Depending on the degree of water ingress, we provide consultance in terms of how you should handle your equipment and apply our products. For more infomation about our Bio products click here.
Our THRUSTER SL products are easy to handle and can be applied by the staff on board the vessel.
