VGP Compliance
All vessels entering American waters must only use biodegradable oils for their propulsion system. For use with these EAL oils Likon has a special rubber grade available. Use our stuffing box seals to keep water and oil completely separated during change over.
Cost effect
Our inflatable stuffing box packings also retain oils in the shaft tube during maintenance. You’ll need less oil to top off.
