Shell Gadus S2 OG 40 is a premium quality lead and solvent free, full EP lubricant developed for the lubrication and protection of open gears and wire ropes subjected to extremes of ambient temperature and operating conditions. It is a unique blend of high quality parafffinic mineral and synthetic base oils with carefully selected additives to provide optimum performance. Its balanced formulation allows the lubricant to stay soft and pliable over long periods, thus eliminating the build-up of lubricant in the roots of the gear teeth.

Applications

 N/A
  • Heavily loaded open gears, particularly those found in grinding mills, kilns, shovels, draglines, ship loaders, stackers and reclaimers and excavator applications.
  • Multi-service lubricant that can be used as the one grease (mutli-purpose and open gear) for the entire machine on most shovels, excavators and draglines (excluding electrical motor bearings).
  • Surface coating of slow moving gears open to the atmosphere.
  • Plain bearings, pivot pins/bushings & articulations found in earth moving equipment.
  • Mooring, static and slow moving wire ropes including those intermittently immersed in salt water.
  • Wide variety of heavy-duty mining and industrial applicaitons.

Features and Benefits

 N/A Exceptional Physical and Mechanical Stability - Shell Gadus S2 OG 40 retains its natural protective properties over its long working life.

Excellent Anti-Wear Performance - At working temperatures, speeds and pressures, Shell Gadus S2 OG forms a protective cushion between the large gear (girth, bull, etc.) and pinion teeth.

Superb Load Carrying Capacity - Molybdenum disulfide and other solid lubricants combine to reduce tooth contact zone temperatures, reduce gear surface pitting and alleviate 'stick-slip' conditions.

Water Repellent - Effectively resists water 'wash-off' by immersion or spray.

Corrosion Protection - Protects metal srufaces from corrosion in hostile environments such as salt-water conditions. Repels dirt and dust. 

Environment Compliance - Lead and solvent have not been added intentionally to Shell Gadus S2 OG 40.
