PDS-GulfSea BD Gear Oil v3
A range of environmentally acceptable Marine Biodegradable High Performance EP Gear Oils especially
developed for use in sensitive marine environments.
Product Description
GulfSea BD Gear Oils are a range of environmentally sensitive high performance, extreme pressure (EP) gear
oils formulated from fully saturated esters exhibiting high EP protection, wide operating temperature range, good
elastomer compatibility and excellent water separation. Particularly suitable for marine thruster and CPP
applications.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil and its components are biodegradable according to OECD test 301B, are
considered minimally toxic according to OECD tests 201/202/203 and as such meets the US EPA
VGP2013 definition of an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil has a very wide operating temperature range: -25C to over +100C.
It is not prone to oxidative thickening, is highly stable ensuring a long operating life.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil is compatible with most common sealing materials, including Nitrile and Viton.
It is miscible with mineral based gear oils but it is good practice to drain systems completely to ensure
that full operational benefits are achieved and that the risk of additive incompatibility is avoided.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil does not contain viscosity index (VI) improvers and will not shear down in use
resulting in extended operating life.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil has excellent water separation due to its demulsification properties and allows
ready water separation in line with OEM requirements water content should not exceed 1000ppm.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil exhibits high EP protection, exceptional anti-wear properties and good resistance
to micropitting. It is an FZG Load Stage 14 lubricant.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil meets the requirements of DIN 51517:3 type CLP lubricating oils and the ISO
12925 CKD specification.
Applications
GulfSea BD Gear Oil can be used in marine thrusters and certain CPP designs.
GulfSea BD Gear Oil can be used in applications where oil leakage may encroach on sensitive marine
environments.
