Motor oils, additives and other chemical helpers
LIQUI MOLY’s core business is oils and additives for cars. In their domestic market Germany, car drivers vote LIQUI MOLY best oil brand for many years in a row. Based on this background the company developed a full range of chemicals especially for boats.
The most important product groups on water as well as land are motor oils and additives. In the field of motor oils LIQUI MOLY's line includes several types of oil for four-stroke and for two-stroke engines. The line covers the following specifications, among others: NMMA FC-W, NMMA TC-W3 and Volvo VDS-3. The researchers at LIQUI MOLY have developed entirely new motor oils for marine applications, because the requirements and application profile for marine engines are different than for automobile engines.
The same applies for additives. These include a diesel fuel stabilizer, which protects the fuel from aging and oxidizing when not in service, improves the Cetan number and thus the combustion and simultaneously removes deposits in the injection system. Marine Diesel Bacteria Stop protects against a frequent threat: diesel sludge. If water is present in the fuel, whether from water condensate on the inner walls of the tank or poor fuel quality, it deposits at the bottom of the tank. Certain bacteria, molds and yeasts can proliferate at the interface between the water and diesel fuel. They form a viscous sludge, which clogs the fuel filter and lines and corrodes the fuel system. Marine Diesel Bacteria Stop is a highly effective biocide, which kills microbes in an infested tank. In weaker concentrations it can also be used on a preventative bases to keep infestation from getting started.
In addition to motor oils and additives LIQUI MOLY also supplies transmission fluids, care products and special developments such as winch grease, a synthetic, resin and acid free heavy duty PTFE solid lubricant, just to name a few. “The philosophy of LIQUI MOLY is to offer all kind of marine chemicals just from one single source”, says David Ballantyne. “No need to handle multiple suppliers anymore.” LIQUI MOLY's research and development as well as production are all accomplished exclusively in Germany.
Danvolt presents LIQUI MOLY’s Marine product line at Seawork International. The exhibition is open from 3rd to 5th of July. Danvolt can be found at stand PB79.
