HORNET 16000

Premium Quality 40 TBN Medium Speed Diesel Engine Oils

Quantum Hornet 16000 oils are a premium quality cylinder and crankcase oils designed for use in highly rated medium-speed trunk piston diesel engines (marine or stationary service) burning high sulphur residual fuels (> 2.5 %wt sulphur) under the most severe operating conditions.

It is manufactured using the finest quality base oils and advanced additive system to provide outstanding residual fuel compatibility characteristics for excellent engine cleanliness, especially in crankcase and camshaft areas. They provide excellent high temperature oxidation and thermal stability, low volatility, load carrying properties and corrosion protection.

Applications

Recommended for use in medium-speed trunk piston engines burning high sulphur residual fuels, where system and engine operational condition require excellent cleanliness control especially to overcome the black sludge and its associated problems. It is also suitable for the lubrication of most reduction gears used with medium speed engines.

Customer Benefits

• High TBN value (42) and superior alkalinity retention characteristics ensure excellent protection in neutralizing the strong acids resulting from the use of high sulphur fuels that find access to the crankcase to promote oil degradation, ring, cylinder and bearing corrosion.
• Superior detergency / dispersancy additives system provide exceptional engine cleanliness in both hot and cold parts of the engine by effectively controlling black sludge, lacquer and other common engine deposits and reduces maintenance cost.
• Excellent high temperature deposits control in areas such as piston under crown and piston ring belt area enabling piston rings to function efficiently to maintains high power output and engine efficiency.
• Separate easily from water to minimize additive depletion during centrifuge.
• Outstanding thermal and oxidation stability to ensure long oil life and posses good oil consumption control.
