Product Description
Shell Corena S4 R 46 is a premium fully synthetic air compressor oil designed for high-performance lubrication of rotary screw and sliding vane compressors.
It is formulated with advanced synthetic base fluids and a high-performance additive system to deliver exceptional oxidation stability, deposit control, and long oil life, even under severe operating conditions.
The product is capable of achieving oil drain intervals up to 10,000–12,000 hours depending on operating conditions and OEM recommendations.
Features and Benefits
Extended Oil Life
Outstanding resistance to thermal and chemical degradation supports long service intervals and reduced maintenance.
Excellent Deposit Control
Minimizes sludge and varnish formation, keeping compressors clean and efficient.
Superior Wear Protection
Protects bearings, gears, and internal components from wear and corrosion.
Efficient Air Release & Low Foaming
Ensures smooth compressor operation and improved efficiency.
Excellent Water Separation
Maintains performance even in the presence of moisture.
Applications
Shell Corena S4 R 46 is recommended for:
- Rotary screw air compressors
- Rotary sliding vane compressors
- Oil-injected and oil-flooded compressors
- High-pressure systems (>25 bar)
- High discharge temperature applications (>100°C)
- Synthetic bearing and circulating oil systems (ISO VG 32–68 range)
