Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A32
Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A32 has been specifically developed to meet the demanding lubrication requirements of pneumatic tools, including percussion-type equipment operating under severe service conditions. Formulated to maintain high oil film strength, it provides effective lubrication for the impact mechanisms of pneumatic drills while also delivering excellent performance in mist lubrication systems used in general-purpose air tools.
A key performance benefit of Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A32 is its reliable wear and corrosion protection. The oil offers excellent lubricity and anti-wear characteristics, helping to protect percussive tools such as rock drills that operate under high shock loads and harsh environmental conditions. High oil film strength supports strong load carrying capability, contributing to extended tool life and reduced maintenance downtime.
The formulation also provides high levels of corrosion protection, even under severe water wash conditions. In wet operating environments, the oil’s excellent emulsibility ensures that lubrication is maintained in the presence of water, helping to protect internal components against rust and corrosion. This makes it particularly suitable for mining, construction and quarrying operations where water ingress is common.
Maintaining system efficiency is another important advantage. Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A32 demonstrates good low-temperature fluidity, ensuring consistent lubrication during cold starts and resisting oil build-up in areas cooled by rapid air expansion. This property supports reliable operation across a wide range of working temperatures and helps prevent lubrication starvation in air-driven systems.
Shell Air Tool Oil S2 A32 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 equipment. It can also be used in oil mist lubrication applications commonly found in manufacturing installations. In certain cases, it may be applied in 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 32 viscosity grade, strong viscosity index and controlled pour and flash points, it delivers dependable performance across varied operating conditions.
