Shell Gadus S3 V1000 A2
Shell Gadus S3 V1000 A2 is a premium heavy-duty grease designed to provide reliable lubrication and protection for heavily loaded industrial bearings operating under demanding conditions. The grease is formulated using high viscosity mineral base oils combined with a lithium-calcium soap thickener system. This advanced formulation is further enhanced with antioxidants, rust inhibitors and extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear additives to deliver dependable performance in challenging industrial environments.
A key advantage of Shell Gadus S3 V1000 A2 is its exceptional load carrying capability. Industrial equipment such as steel mill machinery and heavy rolling systems often operate under extremely high loads and slow rotational speeds. The grease’s high viscosity base oil and extreme pressure additive system help maintain a strong lubricating film between metal surfaces, reducing friction and protecting bearings from wear and surface damage under severe mechanical stress.
The grease also demonstrates excellent adhesion and resistance to water contamination. Many heavy industrial applications involve exposure to water spray, cooling systems or process fluids. Shell Gadus S3 V1000 A2 has strong adhesion properties that help it remain on metal surfaces even when exposed to water flushing or emulsified contaminants. This characteristic helps ensure that lubrication protection is maintained even in environments where water exposure is significant.
Another important feature of the grease is its mechanical stability when exposed to water or emulsions. In industrial environments where lubricants may mix with water or process fluids, some greases can lose consistency and lubrication performance. Shell Gadus S3 V1000 A2 maintains its structural stability under these conditions, helping ensure continuous lubrication and reliable bearing protection during operation.
Shell Gadus S3 V1000 A2 is particularly suited for applications involving slow-moving, heavily loaded bearings. It is widely used in steel production equipment, including continuous casting machines and rolling mills where bearings are subjected to heavy loads and water exposure. The grease is suitable for support, intermediate and work rolls used in tandem, trim, roughing, universal and pilger mills. It can also be used for heavily loaded swivel bearings and sliding bearings operating under harsh industrial conditions.
The product is suitable for both hot rolling and cold rolling processes, where stable lubrication and resistance to water contamination are essential for maintaining reliable equipment operation. Its strong adhesion and load carrying capability make it particularly effective in environments where conventional greases may be washed away or fail under heavy loads.
Physical characteristics include NLGI grade 2 consistency with a lithium-calcium thickener and mineral base oil. The grease has a base oil viscosity of approximately 950 mm²/s at 40°C and 42 mm²/s at 100°C. Worked cone penetration is typically 265–295 (0.1 mm) and the dropping point is approximately 180°C. Performance testing confirms strong rust protection, excellent lubricating ability and a four-ball weld load of approximately 6000 N, supporting reliable lubrication performance in heavy-duty industrial applications.
