Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46
Environmentally Acceptable, Fully Saturated Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid
Application Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46
Mobile / exterior hydraulic applications. Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems in exposed environments can be subject to variations in temperature. The low pour point and naturally high shear stable viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid helps deliver responsive performance from cold start to full load, heavy duty operation.
General industrial control equipment and hydraulic systems. The excellent anti-wear properties and high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid, mean that it can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified.
Environmentally sensitive areas. Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid is an ‘environmentally acceptable’ hydraulic fluid (ISO 15380 HEES), with ‘reduced harm for water and soil during use’ (EU Ecolabel). When compared to conventional mineral oil hydraulic fluids, it will have a reduced environmental impact in the event of a leak or accidental spillage. It is particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas.
Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46 are:
- Excellent wear protection. Advanced ashless (zinc and metal free) anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions – proven protection in tough industry standard tests such as the Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 vane pump and Parker Denison T6H20C hybrid vane & piston pump.
- Extended Oil Life. Fully saturated synthetic ester means reduced fluid degradation in service, leading to an extended oil drain interval.
- Maintaining system efficiency. Superior cleanliness and filterability, coupled with excellent water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics, all help contribute to maintaining or enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic systems.
- Readily biodegradable. Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid is biodegradable by over 60% after 28 days in the OECD 301 B carbon dioxide evolution test.
- Low toxicity towards the environment. Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid is classified as ‘not harmful’ to bacteria, algae, freshwater invertebrates, and fish when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD test guidelines.
- Very high renewables content. Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid has a mean biobased content of 70% (ASTM D 6866).
Product Description Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46
Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid is an advanced hydraulic fluid for use in hydraulic and power transmission systems. Readily biodegradable with low ecotoxicity, Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid is particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas. Fully saturated synthetic esters, blended with ashless additives, provide Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid with a superior blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability.
Specifications of Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46 are:
- Meets requirements of EU Ecolabel for lubricants
- License number NL/027/018
- ISO 15380 HEES
- Meets USA Bio-preferred programme
- Approved as per United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP)
Compatibility & Miscibility of Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46 are:
- Fluid Compatibility. Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid is compatible with most other ester based biodegradable hydraulic fluids. However, ester based hydraulic fluid should not be mixed with other fluid types (e.g., vegetable oil based hydraulic fluid). In order to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid are maintained, the hydraulic system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids. Guidelines on fluid change-over can be found in ISO 15380 Annex A.
- Seal & Paint Compatibility. Shell Naturelle S4 Hydraulic Fluid 46 is compatible with fluoroelastomers (FPM/FKM) such as Viton. Depending on the elastomer grade, it is also compatible with polyester urethane (AU) elastomers.
- This product is not suitable for HNBR/ NBR seals. Other seal materials and system components such as paints may be adversely affected and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.
