CASTROL BIOTAC OG

OSPAR compliant with no substitutable components. US Vessel General Permit 2013 compliant.
Castrol BioTac OG is a highly tenacious, high performance open gear lubricant developed specifically for the rack and pinion jacking mechanism of self-elevating mobile drilling rigs. This is one of the most arduous environments to which a lubricant can be exposed - not only is it subject to high loads and water washing in the splash zone, it also has to
provide protection against corrosion to both the rack and pinion between rig moves. In addition, this is one area of operation where a lubricant is deliberately introduced to the marine environment in the course of normal use.

The oceans and seas constitute the major part of our planet, using an environmentally responsible open gear lubricant can minimise environmental impact and help conserve marine biological diversity.

Castrol BioTac OG environmentally responsible open gear lubricant has been formulated to provide the following key
benefits:
- Formulated to minimise environmental impact in service, particularly in comparison with conventional open gear lubricants.
- All components are either PLONOR or are expected to biodegrade completely in the marine environment, a significant improvement in comparison with conventional open gear lubricants.
 - Meets the requirements for being an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant under the US 2013 Vessel General Permit.
