Taro Special HT 70 is a high-performance 70
BN SAE 50 cylinder lubricant intended for lubricating slow-speed
engines at very high mechanical and thermal loads. It is blended
from highly refined, paraffinic base oils and carefully selected
additives to provide superior ring and liner wear protection and
excellent piston cleanliness in slow-speed crosshead engines. Taro
Special HT 70 has been developed specifically for highpressure and
high-temperature applications.
RECOMMENDED FOR
Taro Special HT 70 is recommended for lubricating the cylinders of
all large slow-speed marine diesel engines operating at high
specific power outputs and high thermal loads.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Wear Protection
Ensures protection against excessive cylinder liner and piston ring
wear, thus allowing prolonged service intervals.
Detergent/Dispersant Properties
Prevents ring sticking and minimizes deposit formation throughout
the combustion chamber exhaust areas.
Excellent Lubrication Properties
Maintains an oil film under severe, high load conditions, thereby
reducing frictional wear and preventing scuffing of liners, pistons
and rings.
Storage Stability
Completely stable at all ambient temperatures. Will not separate or
deteriorate in longterm storage.
Compatibility
Fully miscible and compatible with single-phase alkaline diesel
cylinder lubricants generally known to the international marine
trade.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Taro Special HT 70 has been approved by MAN, Wärtsilä and
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for use in the latest generation engine
designs.
