Chevron launches new lubricant range


New range of marine lubricants is said to be non-toxic to aquatic species and inherently biodegradable.



Chevron has introduced a new product range for the European marine lubricants market.

Launched at last week's Posidonia Marine Exhibition in Greece, the Clarity range of lubricants from Chevron have been developed to strike a balance between environmental responsibility, premium performance and operational cost.

According to Chevron, the new lubricants are non-toxic to aquatic species as determined by LC50 testing and are also inherently biodegradable.

Developed using a proprietary Chevron technology, combining highly refined base oils and advanced additives, the ashless formulation is said to meet or exceeds most major equipment manufacturers’ requirements for viscosity, wear protection, water separability, foam inhibition, rust and corrosion protection, hydrolytic stability and filterability.

Commenting on the new product range, Pedro Cardenes, General Manager, Chevron Marine Lubricants, said “Chevron is proud to introduce a product line that helps maritime companies adopt environmentally responsible and cost efficient solutions that go as far as mitigating risk such as passing the stringent LC-50/OECD 203 Aquatic Toxicity test at five times required test concentration levels.”
