High Performance Multipurpose Extreme Pressure Grease
Shell Gadus S2 V220 greases are high quality multipurpose, extreme-pressure greases based on a blend of high
viscosity index mineral oils and a lithium hydroxystreate soap thickener and contain extreme-pressure and other proven
additives to enhance their performance in a wide range of applications.
Shell Gadus S2 V220 greases are designed for multipurpose grease lubrication of rolling element and plain bearings
as well as hinges and sliding surfaces such as those found in throughout most industrial and transport sectors.
Performance, Features & Benefits Main Applications
· Anti-wear and extreme pressure properties
Efficient lubrication of low load components
· Improved mechanical stability
This is particularly important in vibrating environments where Shell Gadus S2 V220 00 greases are specifically designed for:
poor mechanical stability can lead to grease softening with
subsequent loss of lubrication performance and leakage.
· Steel mill lubrication where a softer grease is necessary for
specialised dispensing systems.
· Good resistance to water wash-out · Heavy duty plain and rolling element bearings operating under
Shell Gadus S2 V220 00 greases have been formulated to severe conditions including shock loading in wet environments.
offer resistance to water wash-out.
· Gearbox applications where semi-fluid greases are required.
· Oxidation stability · Centralized chassis lubrication systems on trucks and buses.
Specially selected base oil components have excellent Specifications, Approvals & Recommendations
