Marine Oil in Dubai

Marine Oil

Maritime, rig and other marine jobs have been increasing rapidly in the last decade. The use of water vessels to transport goods, cargo, vehicles, etc brought about a major increase in the use of water transport. The engines used in ships are larger than normal two-stroke and four-stroke engines. They also face more risk of rust and thermal stress, causing the engine to wear down. Marine oil is special lubricating oil that prevent rust and is resistant to heat and pressure cause within the engine.

Marine oil in Dubai can be found either locally produced or supplied by international producers. They vary in type and use with different composition of various additives. These additives give the base oil certain additional properties and characteristics. The properties of quality marine oil include oxidation resistance to avoid rusting, alkalinity, thickness or consistency, thermal and pressure resistance, high heat flash point, etc. The higher the flash point the more heat resistant the oil. When the temperature rises above the flash point, the oil vaporizes and becomes inflammable.

Producers of marine oil take into account three basic requirements when formulating their oil. These are reducing friction, dissipating excess heat and prevent damage to moving parts. Dealers and Suppliers of marine oil in Dubai have stores and offices all over Dubai such as the Al Mullah Plaza.
