Shell Morlina S2 B 46
Shell Morlina S2 B 46 is a high-performance industrial bearing and circulating oil designed to provide dependable lubrication and protection for a wide range of industrial machinery and circulation system applications. The lubricant is formulated using high-quality solvent refined base oils combined with a proven rust and oxidation inhibitor additive system. This formulation provides excellent oil stability, reliable equipment protection and consistent lubrication performance in demanding industrial operating environments.
One of the key advantages of Shell Morlina S2 B 46 is its outstanding oxidation stability, which helps extend oil service life and reduce maintenance requirements. Industrial machinery frequently operates at elevated temperatures for long periods, which can accelerate oil degradation. The oil’s advanced inhibitor system helps resist oxidation and thermal breakdown, maintaining its protective properties over extended service intervals. This stability helps reduce sludge formation and oil thickening, supporting efficient machinery operation and lowering overall maintenance costs.
The oil also provides reliable wear and corrosion protection for bearings and circulating lubrication systems. Industrial equipment often operates continuously under load, placing stress on bearings and mechanical components. Shell Morlina S2 B 46 forms a durable lubricating film between moving metal surfaces that helps reduce friction and minimise wear. This protective oil film helps extend the service life of bearings and critical equipment components while maintaining reliable lubrication performance throughout the maintenance interval.
Another important benefit of Shell Morlina S2 B 46 is its excellent water separation performance. Industrial lubrication systems may be exposed to water contamination from condensation, cooling systems or processing environments. The oil is formulated to promote rapid demulsification, allowing water to separate easily from the lubricant. This ensures that the oil retains an effective lubricating film between highly loaded surfaces while allowing water contamination to be removed through filtration or centrifugation systems. Effective water separation helps protect machinery against corrosion and maintain consistent lubrication performance.
Shell Morlina S2 B 46 also provides good air release characteristics. Air entrained within circulating lubrication systems can reduce lubrication efficiency and lead to cavitation damage in pumps. The oil is designed to release entrained air quickly, helping maintain stable lubrication performance and supporting efficient operation of pumps and circulating lubrication systems. This contributes to improved system reliability and reduced maintenance requirements.
The lubricant is suitable for use in machine circulation systems, oil-lubricated plain and rolling element bearings, roll-neck bearings and lightly loaded enclosed gear systems where extreme pressure performance is not required. It also meets a range of key industry specifications including Morgan MORGOIL® Lubricant Specification, Danieli Standard Oil 6.124249.F, DIN 51517-1 Type C and DIN 51517-2 Type CL. These approvals confirm its suitability for many industrial lubrication applications.
Physical characteristics include an ISO viscosity grade of 46 with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 46 mm²/s at 40°C and 6.8 mm²/s at 100°C. The oil has a density of approximately 879 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 228°C and a pour point of approximately –24°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of industrial operating conditions.
