Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100
Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is a high-performance rotary vacuum pump lubricant developed to provide reliable lubrication, extended oil life and efficient vacuum pump operation. Formulated using carefully selected highly refined mineral base oils, Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 offers low vapour pressure and stable performance characteristics required for effective operation of rotary and sliding vane vacuum pumps. The formulation is specifically designed to maintain consistent vacuum performance while protecting critical internal components from wear and corrosion.
One of the key advantages of Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is its excellent resistance to oil degradation. Vacuum pump oils are exposed to continuous heat and air during operation, which can accelerate oxidation and deposit formation. Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is formulated with highly stable base oils that resist degradation over time, helping to extend oil service life while reducing sludge formation and harmful deposits. This extended oil life capability helps reduce maintenance requirements and supports more reliable vacuum pump operation.
Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 also provides outstanding wear and corrosion protection for internal pump components. The lubricant forms a durable protective film on metal surfaces, helping protect critical components such as rotors, vanes and bearings from wear during continuous operation. In addition, the formulation offers strong corrosion protection, helping safeguard internal metal surfaces from rust when exposed to moisture or contaminants within the vacuum system.
Another important benefit of Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is its ability to maintain efficient vacuum system performance. The carefully selected base oils have a narrow boiling range and low vapour pressure, which helps ensure that the vacuum pump can operate efficiently at the designed vacuum levels over extended operating periods. This characteristic helps maintain stable vacuum pressure and supports consistent system performance in industrial applications.
Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is designed primarily for use in rotary and sliding vane vacuum pumps used in a wide range of industrial applications. The lubricant is suitable for systems operating at ambient temperatures above 0°C and where maximum operating temperatures typically do not exceed approximately 100°C. Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 is suitable for vacuum pumps operating across a vacuum range of approximately 1000 mbar to 10⁻² mbar. However, the oil is not recommended for use in systems handling corrosive gases or chemical vapours.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 108 mm²/s at 40°C and 11.8 mm²/s at 100°C with an ISO viscosity grade of 100. Shell Vacuum Pump Oil S2 R 100 has a density of approximately 882 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of around 265°C and a pour point of approximately −9°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance in industrial vacuum pump applications.
