Shell Gadus S1 OG 1600
Open Gear and Wire Rope Fluid
Applications
Shell Gadus S1 OG 1600, is recommended for
open gears, sliding surfaces of drag lines,
construction and dredging equipment, chain and
sprocket lubrication, or other applications where
high viscosity adhesive products are required.
Performance Features
Shell Gadus S1 OG 1600 is a blend of bitumen,
highly refined mineral oils, selected EP additives
and high flash point, non-chlorinated, volatile
aliphatic diluent ensuring fluidity during
application, even at low temperatures. Its
performance benefits include: -
z Excellent extreme-pressure properties
Allows maximum load transmission whilst
protecting gear teeth and other machine
elements in particular under boundary
lubrication conditions.
z Very high adhesive characteristics
Once the diluent has evaporated, the
lubricant builds an adhesive high-strength
consistent film ensuring protection of gear
teeth even under hard operation/weather
conditions. The lubricant can easily be
cleaned up with solvents.
z Excellent anti-wear performance
Long interval between maintenance schedules.
z Good low temperature properties
Can be pumped at low temperatures without
the risk of plugging feed lines or nozzles. The
product remains flexible, retains its adhesive
properties and will not crack or flake off gear
teeth.
Operating Temperature Range
The minimum operating temperature ranges from
-10°C with a maximum range up to 95°C.
