Shell Gadus S5 V460 2
Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 is a high-performance multipurpose grease designed to provide reliable lubrication and long service life in demanding industrial and transport applications. The grease is formulated using high viscosity synthetic base oils, specifically polyalphaolefin (PAO), combined with a lithium complex soap thickener and an advanced additive system. This formulation provides excellent resistance to wear, oxidation and corrosion while ensuring reliable lubrication performance under severe operating conditions.
One of the key advantages of Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 is its exceptional performance under heavy loads. Bearings operating in heavy industrial equipment and transport machinery often experience high mechanical stresses and shock loads. The grease contains advanced extreme pressure additives that help maintain a durable lubrication film between metal surfaces, preventing metal-to-metal contact and protecting components from wear. This protection contributes to extended bearing life and improved reliability in demanding operating environments.
The grease also provides excellent thermal stability. Equipment used in industrial processing, transport systems and manufacturing environments can operate at elevated temperatures for extended periods. Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 has a high dropping point of approximately 260°C and maintains its structure even under high-temperature conditions. This thermal stability allows the grease to deliver reliable lubrication across a wide operating temperature range while supporting long operational life.
Another important benefit of the product is its strong resistance to water contamination and corrosion. Industrial machinery is often exposed to moisture, process water or harsh environmental conditions that can lead to corrosion and lubricant degradation. Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 contains corrosion inhibitors that help protect metal surfaces from rust and damage caused by water or aggressive process environments. This protection helps ensure reliable bearing operation and reduces the risk of premature equipment failure.
Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 also provides excellent oxidation stability. The advanced synthetic base oil and additive system help prevent grease degradation and deposit formation when operating under high temperatures or long service intervals. This stability allows the grease to maintain its lubrication performance over extended periods, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting improved equipment efficiency.
Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 is recommended for heavy-duty transport and industrial applications where bearings operate under severe conditions. Typical applications include truck wheel hubs, industrial machinery bearings and equipment used in manufacturing facilities. It is also suitable for the dry end of paper machines and other applications requiring a high-performance non-staining grease capable of operating under demanding loads and temperatures.
Physical characteristics include NLGI grade 2 consistency with a lithium complex thickener and synthetic base oil. The grease has a base oil viscosity of approximately 460 mm²/s at 40°C and 45 mm²/s at 100°C. Worked cone penetration is typically 265–295 (0.1 mm) and the dropping point is approximately 260°C. The grease demonstrates good long-distance pumpability and is suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty lubrication applications.
