Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants
Leading the EAL Revolution
SINOVA MARINE was among the first global suppliers to develop a comprehensive range of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) in anticipation of VGP 2013 regulations.
Our EAL products offer the same exceptional performance as conventional lubricants while meeting the strictest biodegradability and aquatic toxicity requirements for vessels operating in US waters.
From stern tube oils to hydraulic fluids and greases, our EAL portfolio covers all oil-to-sea interface applications, ensuring complete VGP compliance without compromising protection.
