Shell Gadus S3 T220 2
Shell Gadus S3 T220 2 is a high-performance multipurpose extreme pressure grease designed to provide reliable lubrication and extended service life in demanding industrial applications. The grease is formulated using high viscosity mineral base oils combined with advanced diurea thickener technology, also known as polyurea. This modern thickener system delivers excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance, allowing the grease to perform reliably in high temperature environments where conventional greases may struggle to maintain their structure and lubrication properties.
One of the key advantages of Shell Gadus S3 T220 2 is its ability to deliver excellent lubrication performance at elevated temperatures. The diurea thickener system used in the formulation resists melting and softening, helping the grease maintain its consistency even under sustained high temperature operating conditions. This characteristic reduces the risk of grease leakage and lubricant loss, enabling longer re-lubrication intervals and reducing grease consumption during operation. These properties contribute to lower maintenance costs and improved equipment reliability in demanding industrial environments.
The grease also provides outstanding anti-wear protection. The formulation contains carefully selected additives that help maintain a durable lubricating film between moving metal surfaces. This protective film reduces friction and protects bearings from wear and surface damage, even when subjected to heavy loads and continuous operation. The product has been proven in a wide range of demanding industrial applications, including steel mills, paper manufacturing equipment and large electric motors.
Shell Gadus S3 T220 2 also offers excellent oxidation stability. High temperature oxidation can lead to grease degradation, deposit formation and reduced lubrication performance. The advanced oxidation inhibitor system used in this grease helps prevent these effects, allowing the lubricant to maintain its stability and performance throughout extended service periods. In addition, the diurea thickener itself contributes inherent resistance to oxidation, further supporting long grease life in high temperature applications.
Another important benefit of Shell Gadus S3 T220 2 is its versatility. The grease can be used in a wide range of industrial equipment across sectors such as general engineering, steel production, paper manufacturing, aluminium processing and chemical processing industries. It is particularly recommended for heavily loaded ball, roller and plain bearings operating at elevated temperatures where extended service life and reliable protection are required. Typical applications include hot strip mill equipment, paper mill bearings on the dry end of machines and large electric motor bearings.
Physical characteristics include NLGI grade 2 consistency with a diurea thickener and mineral base oil. The grease has a base oil viscosity of approximately 220 mm²/s at 40°C and 19 mm²/s at 100°C. Worked cone penetration is approximately 280 (0.1 mm) and the dropping point is approximately 260°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance in high temperature applications. The recommended operating temperature range is approximately –25°C to +150°C, with higher temperatures possible when lubrication intervals are carefully controlled.
