Shell Gadus S2 Thread
Compound
• Corrosion & Water Resistant
• Casing and Tubing Connectors
• Calcium
High Performance Storage & Thread Compound
Shell Gadus S2 Thread Compounds are storage and thread compounds, meeting the
requirements of the DEA 47(E) Committee for use as 'green' dopes. These greases are
based on highly refined mineral oils with a calcium soap thickener and suitable
additives to provide excellent corrosion protection, prevent galling of threads and
ensure consistent make/break torques.
Applications
Shell Gadus S2 Thread Compound 1 (SSG 3001)
• Thread compounds for use with Premium
connectors
Shell Gadus S2 Thread Compound 2
• Thread compounds for use with Rotary
connectors
Performance Features
• Environmentally friendlyProducts contain no
metals (Pb, Zn, Cu) inmetallic form or other
components identified by the Paris
Commission (PARCOM), e.g. PTFE, nylon or
other polymers
• Both products meet the requirements of DEA
47 (E) Committee Offers
• Proven performance in field tests.
Successfully applied in suitable applications
• Excellent anti-corrosion performance also
provided. Both greases can be used as
effective corrosion preventives, allowing mills
to only use one product and simplifying
operations for production and drilling
companies who do NOT have to remove
protectives before applying a thread
compound
• Excellent brushability. Can be applied even
at low temperatures
• Excellent anti-galling performance. For
carbon steels and up to 13% chromium
steels both products minimise damage to
pipe threads from galling
• Excellent water wash-out resistance.
Maintains protection and prevents corrosion.
Essential qualities for vehicles working in wet
environments
• Safe handling. Products do not require
special labelling
Operating Temperature Range
-20°C to +60°C
