Description
Advanced Synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease (Diurea Thickened, ISO VG 460)
Product Description
Shell Gadus S5 T460 1.5 is a premium fully synthetic high-temperature grease designed for heavy-duty industrial applications.
It is formulated with synthetic base oils and advanced diurea thickener technology, providing exceptional performance in slow-moving, heavily loaded bearings operating under high temperatures. The product delivers long service life, excellent oxidation resistance, and superior protection against wear and corrosion.
Features and Benefits
Outstanding High-Temperature Performance
Excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation ensures long grease life.
Superior Load Carrying Capability
Enhanced extreme-pressure (EP) properties protect heavily loaded bearings.
Excellent Water Resistance
Maintains lubrication performance even in wet environments.
Long Service Life
Synthetic base oils and diurea thickener provide extended re-greasing intervals.
Corrosion Protection
Protects components against rust and aggressive conditions.
