Shell Gadus S3 T100 Greases are high technology greases designed to give optimum performance for grease lubrication in industrial bearings. They are based on mineral oil with a special diurea thickener to give long life, low wear and shear-stable properties at high temperatures. In high temperature applications Shell Gadus S3 T100 Greases will outperform even fully synthetic (PAO) lithium complex greases proposed in the market.

For safe handling. High temperature performance· The diurea thickener used in Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases
have a high melting point and the grease performance is
limited only by the properties of the base oil and additive
components. Corrosion protection· When a bearing is running, most high quality greases can
maintain an adequate lubricating film even when the grease is
loaded with water. However when the grease bearing is idle
corrosion may occur causing pitting which can be destructive.
Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases are formulated with corrosion
inhibitors to help protect bearing surfaces even when the grease is contaminated with water.
The lubrication properties of Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases are
unimpaired by small quantities of salt water.
· Although not specifically designated extreme pressure, Shell
Gadus S3 T100 greases have been used very successfully in
slow moving, loaded large bearings such as those found in
continuous casters in steel plants.
The use of Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases usually permits
considerable extension of the re-lubrication interval. Re-lubrication· Grease life varies considerably from application to application,
even with bearings operating under nominally identical
conditions. Variables such as air flow, dirt and humidity can
have a considerable effect in addition to the more commonly
recognised parameters of load, speed and temperature. Oxidation stability
· Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases have a superior high temperature
oxidation inhibitor system to ensure that they will withstand high
operating temperatures without forming deposits. Unlike the
soap thickeners used in most greases, the diurea thickener in
Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases does not catalyse grease
oxidation, indeed the diurea thickener offers inherent anti
oxidant properties. This contributes to longer grease life at
higher temperatures.
The base oil component of Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases is a
specially selected high viscosity index mineral oil with excellent
oxidation and evaporation resistance. Water washout· Shell Gadus S3 T100 greases exhibit very good resistance to
water washout by immersion or spray.
