Description
Shell GADUS S2 V220 1
High-Performance Multipurpose Extreme-Pressure Grease · NLGI 1
Product Description
Shell Gadus S2 V220 1 is a high-quality multipurpose extreme-pressure (EP) grease formulated with mineral base oil, a lithium hydroxystearate thickener and additives designed to provide reliable lubrication under heavy loads. It is suitable for plain and rolling-element bearings, hinges, sliding surfaces and selected industrial applications exposed to vibration, shock loading and moisture.
Its NLGI 1 consistency provides a softer structure than NLGI 2 grease, making it suitable for certain centralised lubrication systems and applications requiring easier grease distribution.
Features and Benefits
-
Extreme-pressure protection: Helps protect bearings under heavy and shock loads.
-
Good mechanical stability: Helps maintain consistency in vibrating operating environments.
-
Water washout resistance: Helps retain lubrication and protection in wet conditions.
-
Oxidation stability: Helps resist grease deterioration and deposit formation.
-
Corrosion protection: Helps protect metal surfaces, including when water contamination occurs.
-
NLGI 1 consistency: Suitable for applications requiring a softer, more readily dispensable grease.
Applications
-
Heavy-duty plain and rolling-element bearings.
-
Industrial machinery operating under demanding conditions.
-
Bearings subject to vibration and shock loading.
-
Centralised lubrication systems designed for NLGI 1 grease.
-
Selected industrial gear applications where an EP grease is specified.
-
Hinges and sliding surfaces in industrial and transport equipment.
-
Equipment operating in damp or wet environments.

Operating Temperature Range
−20°C to +120°C is the published general operating range for the Gadus S2 V220 family in the Australian product guide. For continuous operation, bearing speed, load and relubrication interval must be considered; operation near the upper limit may require shorter relubrication intervals.
oil+1Storage and Handling
-
Store in the original, sealed container in a clean, dry location.
-
Prevent contamination by dust, water and other lubricants.
-
Use clean grease guns and dispensing equipment.
-
Review relubrication intervals for bearings operating at elevated temperatures.
-
Avoid contact with hydraulic brake rubber components.
Health and Safety
Consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Avoid prolonged skin contact and wash exposed skin with soap and water. Do not discharge used grease into drains, soil or waterways; dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
