OCEANIC EL 08 Environmental Fluid & Lubricant

OCEANIC EL 08 is a low viscosity, plant-derived biodegradable lubricant that is ideal for umbilical storage, umbilical flushing or as a precursor to production chemicals.

OCEANIC EL 08 is a safe alternative to flammable or hazardous solvents and corrosion inhibitors. It is compatible with hydrophobic fluids (crude oil, carrier solvents) as well as insoluble and unreactive with hydrophilic fluids (water seawater, water glycols, brine).
