Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is a synthetic fire-resistant hydraulic fluid, based on very high VI, polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base stocks, coupled with a proven ashless additive package. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 has been designed to minimize fluid degradation and thus extend fluid changeout intervals under even hte most severe operating conditions. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 provides the performance properties demanded by today's high-performance hydraulic systems. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is readily biodegradable.

Excellent Fire Resistance - Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is inherently fire-resistant and is FM approved, offering high flash point, high fire point and high auto-ignition temperature. It minimizes the risk of fire, which could potentially be caused by mineral oil products. Enhanced System Protection - Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 offers excellent lubricity, for outstanding pump life under the most severe conditions. The fluid meets or exceeds the pump performance of premium, anti-wear mineral oils, even at 5,500 psi (380 bar) operating pressure. Shear stability is excellent. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 achieved a 13-stage rating in the FZG Gear Test demonstrating a high level of protection against wear and scuffing. Good Hydrolytic Stability - Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 will not brekad down and react with water, minimizing fluid degradation and acid formation that can damage and eventually dstroy hydraulic pumps. No acid removal/ion exchange filters are required. High Resistance to Sludge or Varnish Formation - Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is formulated to provide high resistance against varnish and sludge formation. Field experience has shown long-term system cleanliness while extending maintenance intervals and service life. In addition, this fluid is very stable at high temperatures and resistant to thermal degradation up to 120 C. Suitable for All-Weather Service - A high viscosity index in combination with excellent low-temperature fluidity provide year-round fluid that portects the machine from cavitation at cold startups and provides durability at higher operating temperatures. Excellent Compatibility - While Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is compatible with many different types of fluids, to ensure proper system performance, it is recommended to properly clean and flush hydraulic systems during conversations. Shell EcoSafe S3 DU 46 is compatible with commonly used seals, hoses and metals. |
