A PREMIUM, HIGH-TEMPERATURE, extreme-pressure (EP) MULTIPURPOSE GREASE

Shell Gadus S3 V220C is a premium, full EP multipurpose grease for high operating temperatures that you can rely on to provide excellent wear protection and long bearing life for your moderate- to high-speed bearings. Shell Gadus S3 V220 C has a lithium-complex thickener for greater mechanical stability to keep the grease where it is needed. 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 S3 V220C 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 two competitors’ greases in the same tier.

Designed for long GREASE life

The longer your grease lasts, the longer your bearings last. Shell Gadus S3 V220C is designed to help you to operate your equipment for longer. It offers

• over 100 hours of bearing life during severe 140°C testing compared with Shell Gadus S2 V220, which has 100 hours of bearing life at 120°C.

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 S3 V220C has

• significantly better mechanical stability after 100,000 work strokes than the average of three competitors’ greases in the same tier.
