Description
SHELL GADUS S2 V220 00
High Performance Multipurpose Extreme Pressure Semi-Fluid Lithium Grease (NLGI 00) for Enclosed Gears, Centralised Lubrication Systems, Bearings & Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications
Product Description
Shell Gadus S2 V220 00 is a high-performance semi-fluid extreme pressure (EP) lithium grease formulated with high viscosity index mineral oil, lithium hydroxystearate soap thickener, and advanced EP, anti-wear, antioxidant, and corrosion protection additives.
Its NLGI 00 semi-fluid consistency allows excellent pumpability through centralised lubrication systems while maintaining the load-carrying capability of a conventional grease. It is designed for applications where a softer grease is required, including enclosed gearboxes, industrial machinery, truck and bus chassis lubrication systems, and heavy-duty bearings operating under wet and shock-loading conditions.
Features and Benefits
Excellent Extreme Pressure Performance
The advanced EP additive system provides protection against:
- Heavy loads
- Shock loading
- Gear tooth wear
- Metal-to-metal contact
- Surface fatigue
helping extend component life in demanding applications.
Excellent Pumpability for Centralised Systems
The semi-fluid NLGI 00 consistency provides:
- Easy pumping through lubrication lines
- Reliable grease distribution
- Reduced risk of blockage
- Suitable performance in automatic lubrication systems
especially in transport and industrial applications.
Good Mechanical Stability
Provides resistance against:
- Grease softening
- Leakage
- Vibration-related breakdown
- Loss of lubrication performance
helping maintain consistent lubrication during operation.
Good Water Resistance
The formulation provides:
- Resistance to water wash-out
- Protection in wet operating environments
- Improved corrosion protection
making it suitable for outdoor and heavy-duty applications.
Excellent Oxidation Stability
Specially selected base oils and additives provide:
- Reduced grease degradation
- Longer service life
- Reduced deposit formation
- Stable consistency during storage and operation
