Castrol adds new multi-purpose grease to its bio range

Castrol marketing director, global marine and energy, Cassandra Higham said, “With Castrol’s EALs, customers can be confident they support global legislation requirements, reduce the risk of delays and penalties in ports, and support corporate environmental targets.”

“Our goal is to provide our customers with lubricants that meet the environmental criteria without compromising performance or reliability. Castrol Marine bio range products have been certified carbon neutral in accordance with PAS 2060 since 2021.”

In addition to BioTac MP2, Castrol’s bio range consists of BioStat, BioBar and BioTac OG.

BioStat was developed to protect stern tube bearings, thruster gear boxes and the gearboxes of deck machinery. The hydraulic oil BioBar can replace conventional mineral oils in hydraulic equipment where there is a perceived risk of egress into the marine environment.

BioTac OG is an open gear grease for applications where the lubricant is either directly immersed in the marine environment, such as in rack and pinion gears in jack-up platforms, or where there is a risk of spillage, such as in anchor winches or other deck machinery.
