Shell CLAVUS AB Refrigeration Oils may be used in all refrigeration compressor types - including reciprocating, centrifugal and rotary types, using fluorocarbon refrigerants such as R12, R22, R114 and R502, as well as ammonia, in both Industrial and Marine applications.

Shell CLAVUS® HFC Refrigeration Oils

Shell CLAVUS HFC Refrigeration Oils are required for the newer HFC refrigerants which are now mandated for all new refrigeration units. They are specially developed for systems using the most popular CFC, R-134a refrigerant gas and all other CFC type refrigerants. The newer CFC refrigerant gases present miscibility problems with all other types of refrigeration oils. Thus, all refrigeration equipment manufacturers must switch to this type of refrigeration oil. They may also be used by service facilities that want to consolidate to one refrigeration oil because they are compatible with the older chlorine containing refrigerants such as R-12 and R-22.

Shell CLAVUS HFC Refrigeration Oils are available in one gallon and five gallon containers because care must be exercised in handling these oils to prevent the absorbtion of moisture.

Shell CORENA® K Oils

The low pour point allows startup and rapid fluid circulation at lower temperatures. These features have proven to reduce maintenance costs and extend service life.

Shell MADRELA AS Oils greatly reduce the danger of compressor/air line fires and explosions that can result from the use of mineral oil based lubricants. These serious threats are greatly minimized through the use of MADRELA AS Oils, since they possess much higher flash point and autoignition temperatures. These oils also greatly reduce the formation of deposits on the internal components of compressors. MADRELA AS Oils are recommended in those compressor applications where the manufacturer recommends the use of PAO based fluids.

They also offer high flash and fire points. These features have been found to extend service life, reduce oil consumption and lower maintenance costs The combination of excellent oxidation stability and low pour points make these products applicable over a wider temperature range than is possible with mineral based oil products. The low pour points allow startup at lower temperatures and very rapid fluid circulation.

Shell MADRELA P Oils greatly reduce the danger of compressor/air line fires and explosions that can result from the use of mineral oil based lubricants. These serious threats are greatly minimized through the use of MADRELA P Oils, since they posses much higher flash point and higher autoignition temperatures than mineral oil lubricants. They also reduce the formation of deposits on the internal components of compressors.

Shell MADRELA P Oils are recommended for use in fluorocarbon, Viton, Teflon, fluorosilicone, polysulfide and high nitrile Buna-N elastomer applications where the manufacturer recommends the use of diester based fluids. They are not recommended for use where neoprene, natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR, Buna-S), or low nitrile Buna-N seals are present. Before converting to MADRELA P Oils, it is advisable to check with the equipment manufacturer for information about the compatibility of elastomeric components with diesters.

Shell MALLEUS® Compound

Shell MALLEUS Compound is a viscous, adhesive lubricant for open gears, bearings, wire rope and cables that are operated under extreme load and temperature conditions. MALLEUS Compound is an asphalt/mineral base blend with selected additives that provide longer service life to gear machinery. The high viscosity of the oil provides a superior lubricating film with high load and low wear characteristics. Additives for protection of surfaces from rust, oxidation and chemical corrosion are blended into the mineral oil base.

Shell MALLEUS Compound is designed to lubricate heavily loaded gears that run at low speeds. These gears can be spur, bevel, spiral bevel, helical, herringbone, worm or rack and pinion. They can be made of steel, cast iron, bronze or other alloys. Lubrication of wire rope and cable systems in steel mills, offshore construction and other industries requires the strength of MALLEUS Compound to coat and protect as well. MALLEUS Compound does not contain chlorinated solvents, thereby minimizing toxicity and air pollution problems.

These types of bearings may operate at extremely high rpm's, and they are likely to require low viscosity oils to lubricate properly and to dissipate excessive heat that may be generated. SPINDLE Oils may also be recommended for use in hydraulic systems that call for low viscosity, non-antiwear hydraulic fluids.

Shell SPINDLE Oils 10 and 22 are approved by Cincinnati Milacron against their specifications P-62 (10) and P-45 (22), and are so listed on their approved products list.

Shell TELLUS® Oils

Shell TELLUS Oils are antiwear hydraulic oils designed to give long service in high output hydraulic systems that use vane, piston or gear pumps. These oils help stretch oil and pump life in extended heavy duty service with their balance of excellent properties. Since they contain a zinc dithiophosphate antiwear agent, they should not be used in specialized pumps with silver plated bearing surfaces.

Shell TELLUS Oils are blended with specially selected paraffinic HVI base oils and incorporate a proprietary additive that is a leader in keeping systems clean. Shell TELLUS Oil technology is also a pioneer accomplishment because it is not adversely affected by small amounts of water.
