Description
Shell Gadus S3 V460 2
Premium Heavy-Duty Lithium Complex Grease – ISO VG 460
Product Description
Shell Gadus S3 V460 2 is a high-performance lithium complex grease formulated with high viscosity mineral base oils and advanced additives.
It is specifically designed for slow-moving, heavily loaded bearings operating under high temperatures and severe conditions, providing excellent load-carrying capacity, oxidation stability, and resistance to water washout.
Features and Benefits
Excellent Load Carrying Capacity
High base oil viscosity (ISO 460) ensures strong lubrication film for heavy-duty applications.
Outstanding Mechanical Stability
Maintains consistency even under vibration and shock loading.
High Temperature Performance
Lithium complex thickener provides high dropping point and thermal resistance.
Excellent Water Resistance
Maintains lubrication performance in wet and contaminated environments.
Corrosion Protection
Protects bearings and components from rust and oxidation.
Applications
Shell Gadus S3 V460 2 is recommended for:
- Heavy-duty slow-speed bearings
- Steel mills (continuous casting, work roll bearings)
- Cement and mining equipment
- Paper and chemical industries
- High-load industrial machinery
Especially suitable for large bearings operating under high load, high temperature, and severe conditions.
