Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is an advanced biodegradable and HFDU type less flammable hydraulic fluid for use in hydraulic and power transmission systems. It is readily biodegradable with a low ecotoxicity, particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas and in industrial equipment operating in areas subject to fire hazards, such as as in steel mills, surface mines, and foundries. Fully synthetic esters, blended with ashless additives, provide Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 with a superior blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability.

Mobile/Exterior Hydraulic Applications - Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems in exposed environments can be subject to wide variations in temperature. The naturally high, shear stable viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 helps deliver responsive performance from cold start to full load, heavy duty operation. General Industrial Control Equipment and Hydraulic Systems - The excellent anti-wear properties and high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46, mean that it can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90 C.
Environmentally Sensitive Area - Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is an 'environmentally accpetable' hydraulic fluid (ISO 15380 HEES), with 'reduced harm for water and soil during use' (European Union ecolabel). When compared to conventional mineral oil hydraulic fluids, it will have a reduced environmental impact in the event of a leak or accidental spillage, and meets the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) requirements for use in marine applications. Industrial Operation Subject to Fire Hazards - Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is classified as an HFDU type fire-resistant hydraulic fluid for use in industrial equipment operating in areas subject to fire hazards, such as in steel mills, surface mines, and foundries. It has a high ignition temperature and heat release. |

N/A
Fluid Compatibility - Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is miscible with mineral oil hydraulic fluids. However, in order to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is maintained, the hydraulic system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids. Guidelines on fluid change-over can be found in ISO 15380 Annex A. Owing to the surface-wetting properties of Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46, if the system was previously operated using a mineral oil hydraulic fluid, deposits formed in the system during operation may be loosened and deposited in the system filters. The filters should therefore be checked at regular intervals after fluid change-over. Seal & Paint Compatibility - Shell Naturelle S2 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is compatible with hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR) and fluoroelastomers (FPM/FKM) such as Viton. Depending on the elastomer grade, it is also compatible with polyester urethane (AU) elastomers. Other seal materials and system components such as paints may be adversely affected and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.
