Is there anyone know a shaft seal call Redice TFTB Axial Seal?

As the title mentioned, I want to learn how the quality is.

I am planning to replace the stuffing box to a dropless shaft seal this winter. Was thinking Volvo Penta rubber seal. Then found my shaft around 45mm and the stern tube around 85mm which is too big for the Volvo Penta rubber seal. Then see the Redice TFTB Axial Seal. Found very little info about it online.

Let me know if you know anything about it. Thanks

Radice have been making props for over a century, so probably OK.

Replaced a Volvo seal with a Radice and never looked back. Lasted much longer and less hassle than the valve.
Was on a sail boat though

Radice is was a Volvo supplier of propellers and seals but not necessarily the same units

I had Radice seals on my new boat which failed after1 year. Had them replaced. under warranty, with Tides marine seals, that are more flexible, and have performed OK so far.
