Product Data Sheet
Brochure

BIOGEAR XP is designed for use in sensitive environments where there is a potential for fluid loss to occur, for example from thrusters, some CPP designs and deck equipment.

BIOGEAR XP is miscible with common mineral based gear oils, but in line with good practice, old lubricants should be drained completely to avoid any risk of additive incompatibility and ensure that the full benefits and performance are achieved. Water content should not exceed 0.1% and any free water must be separated off on a regular basis. Unlike the HYDROX range, these lubricants do not emulsify in water.
