Shell Tellus S2 MX 32
Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 is a high-performance hydraulic fluid designed to deliver reliable protection, extended oil 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 32 provides dependable lubrication performance in hydraulic systems operating under demanding conditions. The formulation resists breakdown caused by heat and mechanical stress while helping prevent the formation of harmful deposits that can reduce hydraulic system efficiency and reliability.
One of the key advantages of Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 is its ability to provide extended fluid life. Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 offers excellent resistance to thermal and chemical degradation, helping minimise the formation of sludge and varnish within hydraulic systems. This improved stability helps maintain system cleanliness and fluid performance over long operating periods. As a result, Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 can help extend maintenance intervals, reduce equipment downtime and lower overall operating costs. 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 32 also provides outstanding wear protection for hydraulic pumps and system components. The advanced anti-wear additive system forms a strong lubricating film between metal surfaces, helping prevent wear under high pressure and heavy load conditions. Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 is designed to meet the demands of modern hydraulic equipment and demonstrates strong performance in recognised industry tests. This high level of protection helps extend the service life of pumps, valves and other critical hydraulic components while supporting reliable system operation.
Maintaining hydraulic system efficiency is another key benefit of Shell Tellus S2 MX 32. The formulation provides excellent filterability, helping reduce the risk of filter blockage and ensuring consistent oil flow throughout the hydraulic system. Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 also delivers excellent water separation, air release and antifoam performance. These properties help ensure efficient hydraulic power transfer while minimising the effects of cavitation and foaming that can reduce system performance or shorten fluid life.
Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 is suitable for a wide range of hydraulic power systems used in manufacturing and industrial 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 32 is suitable for certain marine hydraulic systems requiring HM-type hydraulic oils.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 32 mm²/s at 40°C and 5.4 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 105. Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 has a density of approximately 0.854 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of around 220°C and a pour point of approximately −30°C, supporting reliable hydraulic lubrication performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
