BioStat ST Range Environmentally Acceptable Stern Tube Oil Description Castrol BioStat ST is an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant* (EAL) and stern tube oil based on selected synthetic esters and an optimised performance additive system. It provides a very good level of lubrication and corrosion protection, in both fresh and emulsified forms, good oxidation performance and hydrolytic stability. * Castrol BioStat ST complies with current 2018 US Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA) criteria for Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) as it meets 2013 US Vessel General Permit (VGP) biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and toxicity requirements. Application Castrol BioStat ST has been developed primarily for use in stern tubes and combines excellent physical properties that enable both improved lubrication and corrosion protection with an additive system developed to protect stern tube components from wear. Castrol BioStat ST is intended for use in stern tubes, CPP systems and stabilizers. Advantages Good protection against wear and corrosion. Improved oxidation performance, hydrolytic andthermal stability provide extended product life, minimisingconsumption and waste between dry dockings.Emulsifies readily with seawater entering the stern tube to form a stable emulsion, reducing the risk of freewater.Tested and approved by key leading stern tube and seal manufacturers.Compatible and miscible in all proportions with Castrol BioStat.

Additional Information To ensure that performance and environmental properties of BioStat ST are maintained, it is recommended to drain and flush the system thoroughly when changing fluids, but should follow OEM guidelines. Seal compatibility with BioStat ST should be confirmed by the manufacturer prior to changeover. Storage All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60C, exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions
