Shell Morlina S2 B 68
Shell Morlina S2 B 68 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. Formulated using high-quality solvent refined base oils combined with a proven rust and oxidation inhibitor additive system, the lubricant provides excellent oil stability, dependable equipment protection and consistent lubrication performance in demanding industrial environments.
A key advantage of Shell Morlina S2 B 68 is its outstanding oxidation stability, which helps extend oil service life and reduce maintenance requirements. Industrial machinery frequently operates continuously under elevated temperatures, which can accelerate lubricant degradation. The advanced additive system within Shell Morlina S2 B 68 helps resist oxidation and thermal breakdown, allowing the oil to maintain its protective properties over longer operating periods. This helps minimise sludge formation and oil thickening, ensuring efficient system operation and lower maintenance costs.
The oil also provides reliable wear and corrosion protection for bearings and circulating lubrication systems. Industrial equipment often operates under continuous load, placing stress on bearings and moving mechanical components. Shell Morlina S2 B 68 forms a strong lubricating film between metal surfaces that helps reduce friction and minimise wear. This protective oil film helps extend the service life of bearings and key system components while maintaining reliable lubrication performance throughout operation.
Another important benefit of Shell Morlina S2 B 68 is its excellent water separation performance. Industrial lubrication systems can be exposed to water contamination from condensation, cooling processes or environmental conditions. The oil is formulated to promote rapid demulsification, allowing water to separate quickly from the lubricant. This ensures that the oil retains a strong lubricating film between highly loaded surfaces while allowing water contamination to be easily removed through filtration or centrifugation systems. Effective water separation helps protect equipment from corrosion and maintain consistent lubrication performance.
Shell Morlina S2 B 68 also provides good air release characteristics. Air entrainment within circulating oil 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 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 68 with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 68 mm²/s at 40°C and 8.8 mm²/s at 100°C. The oil has a density of approximately 883 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 250°C and a pour point of approximately –21°C. These properties support reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of industrial operating conditions.
