Shell Tellus Oils
T
Multigrade hydraulic oil
Premium performance, anti-wear hydraulic oils which incorporate a special
viscosity index improver additive to enhance their viscosity/temperature
characteristics.
Applications:
Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems subjected to wide
variations in temperature or where low viscosity change
with fluctuating temperature is required. Certain critical hydraulic
systems can only tolerate small variations in viscosity with fluctuating
temperature if efficiency and responsiveness are
to be maintained.
Hydraulic oils,
such as Shell Tellus Oil T, which exhibit multigrade viscosity
characteristics may be used to particular advantage in these
circumstances.
Performance Features:
Very low viscosity variation with temperature Special viscosity index
technology minimises the oil's variation in viscosity with changes in
temperature and provides good
pumpability at low temperatures. These features are particularly
beneficial in hydraulic applications subjected to extremes of temperature.
High shear stability:
The 'VI' improver is highly resistant to mechanical stress. The
maintenance of 'stay-in-grade' characteristics ensures effective
lubrication and long oil life.
Outstanding anti-wear performance Proven anti-wear additives are effective
in all operating conditions, including low and severe duty, high load
situations.
Excellent filterability:
Minimal tendency to cause filter blockage in the presence of contaminants
such as water and calcium. Oxidation resistant
Resist the formation of acidic products and sludge, even at high working
temperatures.
Corrosion protection:
Powerful inhibitors provide long term protection against corrosion of both
ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Rapid air release and anti-foam properties
provide air release without excessive foaming.
Compatibility:
The anti-wear additive technology used in Shell Tellus Oils T is based
upon zinc which, although ideal for most hydraulic pumps, should not be
used in those of older design containing silverplated components. Shell
Tellus Oils R should be used for these applications.
Seal & Paint Compatibility:
Shell Tellus Oils T are compatible with all seal materials and paints
normally specified for use with mineral oils.
Health & Safety
Shell Tellus Oils T are unlikely to present any significant health or
safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application, and good
standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.
Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin
contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
For further guidance on Product Health & Safety refer to the appropriate
Shell Product Safety Data Sheet.
Protect the environment:
Take used oil to an authorized collection point. Do not discharge into
drains, soil or water. S0041WPW.00E 0896
