High Performance Multi-purpose Grease with Solids
Shell Gadus S2 V220AD Greases are high performance grease for the lubrication of bearings subjected to harsh
conditions.
They are based on high viscosity index mineral oil and a mixed lithium/calcium soap thickener and contains extreme-
pressure, anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion and adhesion additives. It also contains solids to provide resistance
to shock loading.
Performance, Features & Benefits Main Applications
Good oxidation and mechanical stability
Resists the formation of deposits caused by oxidation at high
operating temperatures and maintains consistency, reducing
leakage.
