Recently, Sinopec Lubricant Company received the technical certification notice for Sinopec marine cylinder oil 50100 from MAN.
In last September, MAN informed authorized large main engine producers, users and lubricating oil suppliers of the alkali value of cylinders adopted for its new-type engines as well as the low temperature corrosion caused by vessel navigation at low speed in recent years. According to the current performance of vessel engines, it also called for cylinder oil with a higher alkali value to meet the increasingly complicated market demands, and required its MK8-8.1 and updated engines to use cylinder oil with the alkali value of 100.
To cater for the market changes and user demands, Sinopec Lubricant Company timely developed marine cylinder oil 50100, and successfully obtained MAN's technical certification.
