Engine rooms should be supplied with sufficient oxygen. An engine room vent or ventilator can help. Fire protection measures should include suitable fire extinguishers or an extinguishing system. Engine noise penetrating to the outside can be reduced, e.g. with marine noise insulation and boat soundproofing material. However, the ship's engine room is often also used for storage. It's the place where necessary operating material like greases and lubricants are stored. If something goes wrong during an oil change by oil drain pump, oil absorbent cloths or oil absorbent pads help to prevent a mess in the engine bilge. Many commercial vessels, traditional ships and yachts have a shaft system with a grease-lubricated stern tube. The stern tube is filled with seawater-resistant stern tube grease so that the bearings and shaft are optimally lubricated. Besides, a stuffing box with tallow gaskets or a stuffing box packing made of cotton or aramid fibres is integrated inside the stern tube. During operation, grease escapes through the rear shaft bearing. From time to time new grease has to be injected via a heavy-duty greaser or a grease gun connected to the stern tube.

FLUID FILM LIQUID A is a transparent, solvent-free, oil-based corrosion protection based on lanolin (wool grease) for soft coating of steel surfaces in above and underwater areas.The product displaces water, penetrates existing rust, and forms an elastic, adhesive protective film. It was originally intended for flooding repair-needed ballast water tanks on ships, floating docks, offshore units, for flooding coating of cavities, ballast water tanks, offshore structures, and hard-to-reach areas. The protective film lasts up to two years in enclosed cavities. Additionally, it is suitable for loosening seized rust or making rusted metal parts movable. Application on damp or slightly corroded surfaces is also possible.The product contains no solvents, is environmentally friendly, and easy to apply. Available as spray (type AS-R), in cans or containers (for dipping, spraying, or brushing).Application: Application is carried out depending on the area of use by flooding, brushing, rolling, or spraying. The material should be homogenized before use. After application, the gel time when flooding is about 3–4 hours. Application is possible at any temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment.Technical DataField of application: Single-layer corrosion protection on steel surfacesSubstrate: Steel (bare, rusty or damp); no special pretreatment necessaryPrimer: not requiredCoverage: approx. 12 m²/l at 80 µm wet film (roller, brush application)Thinning: not necessaryApplication method: Brush, roller, spraygun, flooding (professional users)Drying times: none; forms a non-drying, oily protective filmFor more information on application, refer to the technical data sheet under 'Downloads'.

Solvent-free, soft coating material based on lanolin (wool fat). FLUID FILM Gel BN is a physiologically safe and environmentally friendly corrosion protection agent. It serves as a single-layer long-term protective coating for ships, docks, offshore units, and similar objects when surface preparation is limited to high-pressure washing. The viscous gel can be used as a lubricant for machines, equipment, winches, and for wire rope preservation. The product offers excellent corrosion protection, lasting up to 20 years in enclosed spaces. It penetrates residual rust, and promotes the self-healing effect in case of damage to existing coatings. FLUID FILM Gel BN is temperature stable from -45 °C to +70 °C. Complies with MIL-Spec C-23050 guidelines. Preparation: Loose components, dirt, rust, and standing water must be removed before application. Surfaces must be dry.Application: FLUID FILM Gel BN can be applied using a brush, roller, spatula, or airless spray. The greater the layer thickness, the better the corrosion protection. Due to its gel-like consistency, thicker layers up to 1000 µm can be applied. The material can be used directly from the container. For areas with strong water turbulence, it is recommended to subsequently apply an additional layer of PERMA FILM (Art.No. 2718-501).

ISOFLOCK sound insulation made of granulate in three thicknesses for insulating the engine compartment, depending on the space available. It is supplied in sheets (1 x 0.5 m) which are laminated with aluminum foil on one side to prevent the insulation from getting dirty so quickly when working on the engine or in the event of diesel or oil leaks. The reverse side is self-adhesive. This means that the panel can be easily cut to size and adjusted. The backing film is then removed and glued down.Density/weight 100 kg/m3. The material is flame-retardant in accordance with ISO 9094-1 and 2 and is therefore suitable for the engine compartment. Cut and joint edges, as well as the open foam sides of the panels, should be sealed with aluminium tape art. no. 2761-150 to minimize sound bridges and soiling.Toplicht tip:When cutting the panels to size, mark the aluminum side with a felt-tip pen. First make cuts only up to the adhesive layer through the material, once it is finished, then fold it over and trim it. Then cut through the sticky layer with another cutting tool. If you cut through both layers at once, the blade often sticks and the cut through the insulation material can become irregular. Match the panel joints as precisely as possible, even around fixtures in the boat. Larger gaps create sound bridges, which can significantly impair the insulation result. Then seal the joints of the panels and the open cut edges with aluminum adhesive tape.
Aluminum tape, ideal for sealing gaps and cut edges of aluminum-laminated insulation panels for engine compartments. The tape is heat-resistant and reflective, self-adhesive backing. Length of the roll 50 m, width 50 mm.

Cost-effective antifreeze for the fresh water system and also the external engine cooling circuit. TALAMEX Antifreeze is produced on a vegetable basis and is biodegradable. Protects plastic pipes and pumps down to -25 °C, copper pipes down to -45 °C. Anti-corrosion and oxidation additives protect the machine. Mixed ready for use in a 5 liter canister, cannot be diluted.ApplicationIs filled into the empty water tank and then sucked into the pump, hoses and taps by opening the taps, which are closed when the escaping water turns pink.The antifreeze is usually filled into the machine's external cooling water circuit via the open sea water filter until the pink-colored antifreeze emerges from the exhaust when the engine is running.TOPLICHT tipJabsco on-board toilets should not be winterized with antifreeze, but emptied using the drain plug.
High-quality antifreeze from established German manufacturer LIQUI MOLY for the external cooling circuit of the machine with anti-corrosion and oxidation additives that reliably protect the lines, pump, heat exchanger and exhaust system.The 5-litre canister of LIQUI MOLY Antifreeze with glycerine-water-based concentrate can be used neat or diluted with water, depending on the desired outdoor temperature protection. For example, the container can be mixed with 4 litres of water (ratio 1:0.8) to obtain 9 litres of ready-to-use antifreeze down to -15 °C. For smaller boats, this amount is sometimes even sufficient for two seasons. Antifreeze is biodegradable and therefore environmentally friendly.ApplicationThe antifreeze is usually poured into the engine's external cooling water circuit via the previously opened seawater filter until the blue-coloured antifreeze emerges from the exhaust while the engine is running. Then stop the engine and close the seawater filter again. Antifreeze must not be used for the drinking water system.
