Description
SHELL GADUS S2 V220 EP 0
High Performance Multipurpose Extreme Pressure Lithium Grease (NLGI 0) for Centralised Lubrication Systems, Bearings, Steel Mills & Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications
Product Description
Shell Gadus S2 V220 EP 0 is a high-performance multipurpose extreme pressure (EP) lithium grease formulated with high-quality mineral base oil (ISO VG 220), lithium hydroxystearate soap thickener, and advanced EP, anti-wear, antioxidant, and corrosion protection additives.
The NLGI 0 semi-soft consistency provides excellent pumpability through centralised lubrication systems while maintaining good load-carrying capacity. It is designed for industrial and transport applications requiring a softer grease grade, including plain bearings, rolling element bearings, steel mill equipment, and heavy-duty machinery operating under shock loads and wet conditions.
Features and Benefits
Excellent Extreme Pressure Performance
The EP additive system provides protection against:
- Heavy loads
- Shock loading
- Gear and bearing wear
- Metal-to-metal contact
- Surface fatigue
helping extend component service life under demanding conditions.
Good Pumpability for Centralised Systems
The NLGI 0 consistency provides:
- Easy grease flow through lubrication lines
- Reliable grease distribution
- Reduced risk of blockage
- Suitable performance in automatic lubrication systems
especially in industrial and transport applications.
Excellent Mechanical Stability
Provides resistance against:
- Grease softening
- Vibration-induced breakdown
- Leakage
- Loss of lubrication performance
making it suitable for equipment exposed to continuous operation and vibration.
Good Water Resistance
The formulation provides:
- Resistance to water wash-out
- Protection in wet environments
- Improved corrosion protection
for harsh operating conditions.
Good Oxidation Stability
Specially selected base oils and additives provide:
- Reduced grease degradation
- Longer service life
- Stable consistency during storage and operation
- Reduced deposit formation
