We work with a number of partners in our supply chain to ensure StannuMAX™ is the equivalent chemical blend to what your machinery requires.
This babbitt is supplied in accordance with Siemens Specification TLV997701_072017, as called out in paragraph 4. Chemical Composition in wt.-%, shown in the following table:
