Shell Tellus S2 MX 100
Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 is a high-performance hydraulic fluid designed to provide reliable protection, long service life and efficient operation in a wide range of industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. Formulated using high-quality Group II base oils combined with advanced additive technology, Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 delivers dependable lubrication performance in equipment operating under demanding conditions. The formulation resists thermal and mechanical breakdown while helping prevent deposit formation that can reduce the efficiency and reliability of hydraulic systems.
One of the key advantages of Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 is its ability to provide extended fluid life. Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 offers excellent resistance to thermal and chemical degradation, helping minimise the formation of sludge and varnish within the hydraulic system. By maintaining system cleanliness and fluid stability over time, Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 helps extend maintenance intervals and reduce equipment downtime. The fluid also demonstrates good stability in the presence of moisture, helping reduce the risk of corrosion and rust formation in humid or wet operating environments.
Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 also delivers excellent wear protection for hydraulic pumps and components. The advanced anti-wear additive system helps protect critical components such as pumps, valves and actuators from premature wear under high pressure and load conditions. Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 meets the demanding requirements of modern hydraulic systems and demonstrates strong performance in recognised industry tests, helping extend component service life and improve overall equipment reliability.
Maintaining hydraulic system efficiency is another important benefit of Shell Tellus S2 MX 100. The fluid provides excellent filterability, which helps prevent filter blockage and maintain consistent fluid flow throughout the hydraulic circuit. In addition, Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 offers excellent water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics. These properties help ensure efficient hydraulic power transfer while minimising the risk of cavitation, foaming and oxidation that can shorten fluid life or reduce system performance.
Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 is suitable for a wide range of industrial hydraulic systems used in manufacturing and processing environments. It can also be used effectively in many mobile hydraulic applications such as excavators, cranes and construction equipment where ISO HM category hydraulic fluids are recommended. In addition, Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 is suitable for certain marine hydraulic systems requiring HM-type hydraulic oils.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 100 mm²/s at 40°C and 11.7 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 105. Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 has a density of approximately 0.870 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of around 240°C and a pour point of approximately −24°C, supporting reliable hydraulic performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
