FOR LIP TYPE SEALS WITH SEAL REVITALISER
An effective additive for Stern Tubes, Bow Thrusters, Azimuth Thrusters and CPPs
The MPS 896 Special Mix paste must be injected in its concentrated form directly to the aft seal chambers. It is necessary to have a suitable pump for application. Lindemann can supply a high pressure pump, which suits the 20 kg drum, for easy application. The pump can later be used for other purposes.

In addition to high concentration of PTFE, MPS 896 Special Mix contains another additive, which gives the paste different structure and makes it cling to the rotating shaft with a firm grip.
The „firm grip“ on the shaft ensures that the higher level of PTFE is interlocked right in front of any given slip between the seal and the shaft, offering a tougher sealing effect that will withstand greater forces from the sea.
The paste’s seal revitalizing additive preserves or restores flexibility of the rubber seals without swelling.
