Cylinder L40
Pure Tech Cylinder L40 is a special 40BN, SAE 50 cylinder lubricant, for improved piston
running conditions in low speed crosshead diesel engines burning low sulphur fuels.
PERFORMANCE, FEATURES & BENEFITS
Reliable engine performance:
- Excellent acid neutralising properties, helping to prolong the life of components.
- Minimal deposits on pistons, piston rings, ring grooves, under piston spaces and in cylinder ports; low
cylinder and piston ring wear.
Reassurance:
- Cylinders of low-speed crosshead diesel engines burning fuels with sulphur content below 2%wt, where the designer recommends a lower Base Number (BN) oil to reduce the risk of “sudden severe wear” or scuffing.
