Features and Benefits

Features and Benefits

N/A Protection in Severe Environments - The established detergent and zinc based anti-wear technology in Shell Tellus S2 VA 46 provides extra protection in challenging environments by:
  • Preventing water accumulation
  • Dispersing solid contaminants
  • Preventing corrosion in presence of water
  • Providing low-friction anti-wear performance
In addition, the high viscosity index helps ensure protection and performance from low-temperature start-up conditions to high temperature and severe duty operations.

Fluid Life - Maintenance Saving - Shell Tellus VA 46 has a good resistance to thermal and chemical breakdown to ensure consistent performacne and protections throughout the fluid drain interval.

Maintaining System Efficiency - Superior cleanliness in severe environments helps keep the hydraulic system functioning efficiently. This is supported by excellent air release and anti-foam characteristics. In addition, Shell Tellus S2 VA 46 provides excellent filterability allowing the use of fine filters for extra protection and long equipment life. Smooth operation of the hydraulic system is supported by the low-friction additive system that helps reduce stick-slip behavior under high loads or poorly lubricated contacts. Shell Tellus S2 VA 46 is manufactured with a quality system assuring the fluid at the Shell plant filling lines meets the requirements of max ISO 4406 21/19/16 class. As recognized by DIN 51524 specification, the oil is exposed to various infludences with transport and storage that could effect the leanliness level.
