A PREMIUM, HEAVY-DUTY, HIGH-TEMPERATURE, EP MULTIPURPOSE GREASE WITH SHOCK-LOAD RESISTANCE

Shell Gadus S3 V460D is a premium, heavy-duty, high-temperature, full extreme-pressure (EP) multipurpose grease and contains solids (3% molybdenum disulphide) for shock-load resistance. It is a lithium-complex grease that you can rely on to provide excellent wear protection and long bearing life for your slow-moving, heavily loaded bearings and linkages operating at high temperatures and subjected to shock loads. Shell Gadus S3 V460D also has excellent mechanical stability in the presence of water to keep the grease where it is needed. 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 S3 V460D, which contains 3% molybdenum disulphide, provides

• excellent protection for EP bearings, as it passes the four-ball weld load test at 620 kg (ASTM D 2596 test method), which is more than twice the pass weight of Shell Gadus S2 V220D and far 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 bearing-corrosion tests (IP 220/ASTM D6138) in which a rating of 0 represents no visible corrosion and a rating of 5 indicates more then 10% corrosion.

Designed for long GREASE life

The longer your grease lasts, the longer your bearings last. Shell Gadus S3 V460D is designed to help you to operate your equipment for longer. It offers

• excellent resistance to water washout, as it has less than 10% washout after 1 hour at 79°C in the ASTM D1264 water-washout test, which places it in the best performance category defined in DIN 51807-2.

Designed for SYSTEM efficiency

By keeping its mechanical stability, a grease can go on working as intended in your equipment, so that the machine continues performing at its design specifications. Shell Gadus S3 V460D has

• up to 25% better mechanical stability in the presence of water than Shell Gadus S2 V220D, as there is less than a 30-dmm change in consistency after 100,000 work strokes at 25ºC with 10% water (ASTM D217 test method).

APPROVALS, LISTINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Shell Gadus S3 V460D and Shell Gadus S3 V460XD meets the requirements of a wide range of industry bodies and equipment manufacturers. They are available in NLGI grades 1, 1.5 and 2.

Real-world value delivery

Many customers around the world are benefiting from switching to Shell Gadus S3 V460D. For instance, customers are

• reducing maintenance costs: a metals company reports saving over $300,000 a year through using the grease on its heavily loaded gear couplings, which are subjected to vibrations and shock loading
• increasing equipment availability: one construction company reports saving $3.8 million a year, thanks to the grease’s greater washout resistance. By changing to Shell Gadus S3 V460XD, one customer:
• extended pin and bearing life, and reduced grease consumption, saving a reported $268,000 a year.
