Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell Turbo Oil T 68

+ Strong Control of Oxidation

The use of inherently oxidatively stable base oils together with an effective inhibitor package provides high resistance to oxidative degradation. The result is extended oil life, minimising the formation of aggressive corrosive acids, deposits and sludge, reducing your operating costs.

+ High Resistance to Foaming and Rapid Air Release

The oils are formulated with an anti-foam additive, which generally controls foam formation. This feature coupled with fast air-release from the lubricant reduces the possibility of problems such as pump cavitation, excessive wear and premature oil oxidation, giving you increased system reliability.

+ Positive Water-Shedding Properties

Robust demulsibility control such that excess water, common-place in steam turbines, can be drained easily from the lubrication system, minimising corrosion and premature wear, lowering the risk of unplanned maintenance.

+ Excellent Rust & Corrosion Protection

Prevents the formation of rust and guards against onset of corrosion ensuring protection for equipment following exposure to humidity or water during operation and during shut-downs, minimising maintenance.
