Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100
Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100 has been developed to meet the specialist lubrication requirements of pneumatic tools, including percussion-type equipment operating under arduous service conditions. Designed to maintain high oil film strength, it effectively lubricates demanding pneumatic drill impact mechanisms while also providing excellent mist lubrication performance for general-purpose air tool installations.
A key benefit of Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100 is its reliable wear and corrosion protection. The formulation delivers excellent lubricity and anti-wear characteristics, helping to protect percussion tools such as rock drills operating under high shock loads and severe environmental conditions. High oil film strength supports strong load carrying performance, contributing to increased drill life and reduced maintenance requirements.
The oil also provides high levels of corrosion protection, even under severe water wash conditions. In wet operating environments where water ingress is common, its excellent emulsibility ensures that lubrication performance is maintained. This makes Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100 particularly suitable for mining, construction and quarrying applications where tools are exposed to moisture and harsh working conditions.
Maintaining system efficiency across varying operating temperatures is another important advantage. Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100 offers good low-temperature fluidity, enabling consistent lubrication during start-up and resisting oil build-up in areas cooled by rapid air expansion. This property supports smooth tool operation and reliable lubrication under fluctuating working conditions.
Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100 is suitable for a wide range of mobile percussive pneumatic tools used in rock drilling, mining and construction activities, including jack hammers, sinkers and other air-operated tools. It can also be used in oil mist lubrication applications commonly found in manufacturing installations. In addition, it may be suitable for certain gear and bearing lubrication systems subject to water ingress.
The product meets ISO 6743-11 Types PAC and PBC classifications and is compatible with seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oils. With an ISO VG 100 viscosity grade, strong viscosity index and controlled pour and flash point characteristics, Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A100 delivers dependable performance across demanding industrial environments
