A WATER-RESISTANT, extreme-pressure (EP) MULTIPURPOSE GREASE

Shell Gadus S2 V220AC is a full EP, red multipurpose grease for wet environments. It is a grease that you can rely on to provide good wear protection and bearing life for your moderate- to high-speed bearings operating at moderate temperatures. It is widely recognised and listed by leading equipment manufacturers.

Designed to protect

Protecting equipment from wear can help to increase service life and maximise your return on investment. Shell Gadus S2 V220AC can help to provide

• EP protection for bearings, as it passes the four-ball weld load test at 315 kg (ASTM D2596 test method), which exceeds the 250-kg minimum weld load that a grease must pass to be classified as having good load-carrying properties (ISO 6743-9)
• good corrosion protection, as it achieves a rating of 3 in synthetic-seawater bearingcorrosion tests (IP 220/ASTM D6138) in which a rating of 0 represents no visible corrosion and a rating of 5 indicates more than 10% corrosion.

Designed for long GREASE life

The longer your grease lasts, the longer your bearings last. Shell Gadus S2 V220AC is designed to help you to operate your equipment for longer. It offers

• over 100 hours of bearing life at 120°C in FAG FE9 tests (DIN 51821-2).

Designed for SYSTEM efficiency

By retaining its mechanical stability, a grease can go on working as intended in your equipment, so the machine continues performing at its design specifications. Shell Gadus S2 V220AC

• has good mechanical stability in the presence of water, as there is less than a 70-dmm change in consistency after 100,000 work strokes at 25ºC with 10% water (ASTM D217 test method).

PERFORMANCE THAT YOU CAN RELY ON

The way a grease is made has a huge impact on its performance. All Shell Gadus S2 and higher tier greases meet higher performance standards than Shell Gadus S1 greases and are manufactured in a highly controlled and systematic way, from precisely specifying the ingredients to detailing how it is packaged, shipped and delivered. This quality process ensures that every batch you receive, no matter where in the world it is made, gives you the same high performance levels.
