SHELL’S MOST POPULAR GREASE

Shell Gadus S2 V220 is Shell’s most popular grease. It is a full extremepressure (EP), multipurpose grease that you can rely on to provide good wear protection and bearing life for your moderate- to high-speed bearings at moderate operating temperatures. It is widely recognised and listed by leading equipment makers.

Designed to protect

Protecting equipment from wear can help to increase service life and maximise your return on investment. Shell Gadus S2 V220 can help to provide

• EP protection for bearings, as it passes the four-ball weld load test at 315 kg (ASTM D 2596 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)
• significantly better corrosion protection than the average performance of three competitors’ greases in the same tier.

Designed for long GREASE life

The longer your grease lasts, the longer your bearings last. Shell Gadus S2 V220 is designed to help you to operate your equipment for longer. It gives

• up to 39% longer bearing life than the average of three competitors’ greases in the same tier.

Designed for SYSTEM efficiency

By keeping 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 V220 has

• good mechanical stability, as it meets the German steel industry requirement (SEB 181 253) of less than a 40-dmm change in consistency after 100,000 work strokes (DIN ISO 2137 test method).

Specifications and approvals

Shell Gadus S2 V220 meets the requirements of a wide range of industry bodies and equipment manufacturers. It is available in NLGI grades 00, 0, 1, 2 and 3. Grades 00, 0 and 1 are suitable for centralised dispensing systems and gearboxes.
