Customer Benefits
Cost Savings via
• Lower seal costs that result from the use of advanced XHVI base oils instead of PAOs and/or
esters that are more compatible with seal materials allowing lower cost seals to be used while
obtaining the same extended life.
• Lower maintenance costs due to the extra long service life that can be obtained in electrical
motors & high speed bearings that result from the use of an appropriate thickener and selected
additive technology, developed & tested by Shell
• Reduced cost due to the excellent performance in high speed machine tool bearings that usually
employ far more expensive greases from specialist companies (eg Kluber Staburags), this
performance results from the leading edge technology that comes from investing continuously in
Grease R&D
Peace of Mind via
• The proven nature of the technology, that is evident from the approval by leading companies such
as SNR, ABB, in a range of applications which grows every year.
