Shell Gadus S2 OG 80 is a high-performance, high-viscosity open gear lubricant formulated for use in heavy-duty applications where extreme pressure and shock loads are encountered. It is designed to provide superior protection and lubrication to large, slow-moving open gears and bearings, typically found in mining, cement, and other industrial equipment.

Key Features:

• Extreme Pressure (EP) Protection: Provides excellent load-carrying capacity and resistance to wear, even under severe shock loads.
• SUPERB Load Carring Capacity Molybdenum disulphide and othersolid lubricants combine to
  reduce tooth contact zone temperatures, reduce gear surface pitting
  and help alleviate ‘stick-slip’ conditions.
• High Viscosity: Ensures a thick lubricant film for outstanding protection in slow-moving, heavily loaded gear systems.
• Adhesive and Tackiness Additives: Ensures the lubricant stays in place, minimizing fling-off and maintaining protection in exposed gear systems.
• Corrosion Protection: Protects metal surfaces from rust and corrosion, even in harsh, moist environments.
• Oxidation Resistance: Prolongs lubricant life by resisting oxidation and degradation at high operating temperatures.

Typical Characteristics:

• Base Oil Viscosity @ 40°C: 1600 cSt
• Penetration (Worked): 450-490
• Density @ 15°C: 0.98 g/mL
• Flash Point: >180°C
• 4 Ball Extreme Pressure Test mm: max 0.65
• Timken OK Load without solids N:min 0.45

Applications:

• Open Gears: Designed for use in large, slow-moving open gears and pinions commonly found in the mining, cement, and steel industries.
• Heavy-Duty Bearings: Suitable for the lubrication of heavily loaded bearings operating in challenging environments.
• Kiln and Mill Girth Gears: Provides excellent lubrication and protection in high-temperature applications such as kilns and mills in cement plants.
• Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Ideal for use in open gears on draglines, shovels, and other mining equipment.

Performance Benefits:

• Reduced Wear: Prolongs equipment life by protecting gear teeth and bearings from wear under heavy loads and extreme operating conditions.
• Excellent Adhesion: Stays in place on exposed gears, reducing consumption and ensuring continuous protection.
• Long Lubricant Life: Resists oxidation and breakdown, extending the lubricant's service life and reducing the need for frequent reapplication.

Shell Gadus S2 OG 80 provides dependable performance in harsh industrial environments, offering excellent load protection, reduced wear, and long-lasting lubrication, ensuring reliable operation of critical machinery.
