Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 High-Temperature Long-Life Polyurea Grease
Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 is a high-temperature NLGI 2 grease formulated with mineral base oil and a special diurea thickener. It is designed mainly for long-life lubrication of industrial bearings operating under elevated-temperature conditions. Shell Japan describes RL 2 as a high-temperature, long-life grease for bearings in various types of machinery. The product provides good high-temperature mechanical stability, oxidation resistance, wear protection, water resistance and corrosion protection. These properties help the grease maintain its structure and extend re-lubrication intervals in demanding bearing applications. Shell Gadus S3 T100 2 is identified by Shell as the product formerly known as Shell Stamina Grease RL 2. Typical base-oil viscosity is approximately 100 mm²/s at 40°C and 11 mm²/s at 100°C, with a dropping point of approximately 250°C.
Product Details
Product Features
High-Temperature Long Life:The special diurea thickener provides good structural stability at elevated temperatures and helps extend grease service life and re-lubrication intervals.
Good Oxidation Resistance:The formulation provides strong resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, helping reduce grease degradation and deposit formation.
Good Wear Protection:Helps maintain a lubricating film in industrial bearings and reduce friction and wear during operation.
Good Water Resistance:Provides good resistance to water washout and can maintain lubrication performance in the presence of small amounts of water.
Good Corrosion Protection:Contains corrosion inhibitors that help protect bearing surfaces against rust and corrosion in humid or water-contaminated environments.
Product Applications
High-Temperature Industrial Bearings:Suitable for industrial bearings operating continuously at elevated temperatures where long grease life is required.
Electric Motor and Fan Bearings:Suitable for bearings in motors, fans and similar rotating equipment requiring stable long-term lubrication.
Steel and Continuous-Casting Equipment:Can be used in slow-moving loaded large bearings such as those found in continuous casters in steel plants.
High-Temperature Machinery:Suitable for bearings in dryers, heating equipment and other industrial machinery operating under elevated temperatures.
Extended Re-Lubrication Applications:Suitable for equipment where frequent re-greasing is difficult or undesirable, helping extend maintenance intervals.
