Shell Tellus S2 MX 22
Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 is a high-performance hydraulic fluid designed to deliver reliable protection, long service life and efficient operation in a wide range of industrial and mobile hydraulic applications. Formulated using high-quality Group II base oils combined with advanced additive technology, Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 provides dependable lubrication performance in hydraulic systems operating under demanding conditions. The formulation resists breakdown caused by heat and mechanical stress while helping prevent harmful deposit formation that can reduce hydraulic system efficiency and reliability.
One of the key advantages of Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 is its ability to provide extended fluid life. Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 offers excellent resistance to thermal and chemical degradation, helping minimise the formation of sludge and varnish within hydraulic systems. By maintaining system cleanliness and fluid stability over extended service periods, Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 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 environments.
Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 also delivers outstanding wear protection for hydraulic pumps and system components. The advanced anti-wear additive system forms a protective lubricating film between metal surfaces, helping prevent excessive wear under high pressure and load conditions. Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 meets the demanding requirements of modern hydraulic equipment and demonstrates strong performance in recognised industry tests, helping extend the service life of pumps, valves and other critical hydraulic components.
Maintaining hydraulic system efficiency is another important benefit of Shell Tellus S2 MX 22. The fluid offers excellent filterability, helping reduce the risk of filter blockage and maintain consistent oil flow throughout the hydraulic system. Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 also provides high-performance water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics. These properties help ensure smooth hydraulic power transmission while minimising the effects of foaming and cavitation that can reduce system performance and shorten fluid life.
Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 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 power transmission systems such as excavators, cranes and construction equipment where ISO HM category hydraulic fluids are recommended. In addition, Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 is suitable for certain marine hydraulic systems requiring HM-type hydraulic oils.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 22 mm²/s at 40°C and 4.4 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 105. Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 has a density of approximately 0.852 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of around 215°C and a pour point of approximately −30°C, supporting reliable hydraulic lubrication performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
