Bearing and circulating oils
Bearing and circulating oil with a range of protection and performance levels for a wide range of industrial applications. Its outstanding demulsibility allows water to be shed rapidly from the oil, so it can be removed from the lubrication system and protect equipment against corrosion, premature wear, and failure.
Fire resistant hydraulic fluids
Fire resistant fluids pose a significantly lower fire hazard than conventional mineral oils. Shell technical advisors can support customers in managing the changeover process, adhering to the highest level of safety.
