Low-Sulphur Fuel Lubricity Improver

Product overview

Improves low-sulphur marine fuel lubricity to reduce pump, valve and injector wear; detergent/dispersant action helps reduce injector deposits. For lubricity enhancement and maintenance of pumps, valves and injection components. Select by fuel tests and equipment requirements; mix thoroughly and monitor filters, injectors and operating condition.

Typical applications

• Low-sulphur fuel lubricity Improves lubrication when low- or ultra-low-sulphur marine fuels have inadequate natural lubricity.
• Pump and injection protection For fuel-lubricated pumps, plungers and injection components, reducing wear risk from poor lubricity.
• Fuel changeover management Dose by treated volume when switching to low-sulphur fuel or a new batch within changeover procedures.

Key benefits

• Improved fuel lubricity Supplies lubrication support for low-sulphur fuels to help reduce wear risk.
• Injection-system maintenance For pumps and injection parts, with cleaning and dispersant action.
• Combined fuel conditioning Combines lubricity improvement with cleaning and dispersant functions for compatible fuels.

Application guidelines

1. Confirm fuel type, lubricity tests and engine requirements. Identify existing mechanical faults.
2. Calculate dose by actual fuel volume and the TDS. Add uniformly during bunkering or circulation.
3. Record fuel and equipment condition. Maintain use according to lubricity retesting and injection inspections.

Use the current product TDS for operating parameters and the SDS for handling, storage and transport. Confirm compatibility under your process conditions.
