Shell Morlina S2 B 460
Shell Morlina S2 B 460 is a high-performance industrial bearing and circulating oil designed to provide reliable 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 delivers excellent oil stability, reliable equipment protection and consistent lubrication performance in demanding industrial environments where dependable lubrication is critical.
One of the key advantages of Shell Morlina S2 B 460 is its outstanding oxidation stability, which helps extend oil service life and reduce maintenance requirements. Industrial equipment often operates continuously under elevated temperatures that can accelerate oil degradation. The advanced inhibitor system within the oil helps resist oxidation and thermal breakdown, maintaining its protective properties throughout extended service intervals. This stability helps reduce sludge formation and oil thickening while supporting efficient machinery operation and lower maintenance costs.
The oil also provides reliable wear and corrosion protection for bearings and circulating lubrication systems. Industrial machines often operate under continuous loads that place significant stress on bearings and moving components. Shell Morlina S2 B 460 forms a strong lubricating film between metal surfaces that helps reduce friction and minimise wear. This protective oil film helps prolong the life of bearings and key mechanical components while maintaining consistent lubrication performance during operation.
Another important benefit of Shell Morlina S2 B 460 is its excellent water separation performance. Industrial lubrication systems can experience water contamination from condensation, cooling processes or environmental exposure. The oil is formulated to promote rapid demulsification, allowing water to separate quickly from the lubricant. This ensures that the lubricant maintains a strong protective film between highly loaded components while allowing water contamination to be easily removed through filtration or centrifugation systems. Effective water separation helps protect equipment from corrosion and maintain reliable lubrication performance.
Shell Morlina S2 B 460 also offers good air release characteristics. Air entrainment within circulating oil systems can reduce lubrication efficiency and lead to cavitation damage in pumps. The oil is formulated to release entrained air quickly, helping maintain stable lubrication performance and supporting efficient operation of circulating lubrication systems. This contributes to improved equipment 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 meets a range of industry standards including Morgan MORGOIL® Lubricant Specification, Danieli Standard Oil 6.124249.F, DIN 51517-1 Type C and DIN 51517-2 Type CL, confirming its suitability for a wide variety of industrial lubrication applications.
Physical characteristics include an ISO viscosity grade of 460 with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 460 mm²/s at 40°C and 30 mm²/s at 100°C. The oil has a density of approximately 904 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 300°C and a pour point of approximately –9°C. These properties support reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of industrial operating conditions.
