Shell PANOLIN S4 Hydraulic OS EAL 15

Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell PANOLIN S4 Hydraulic OS EAL 15 are:

• Lower Environmental Impact. Recommended for use in environmentally sensitive areas: An ‘environmentally acceptable lubricant’ as defined by the USA EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit and offers reduced impact of leak or accidental spillage into the environment when used in marine environments compared to conventional mineral oils. Readily biodegradable - biodegraded by over 60% after 28 days in the OECD 301 B carbon dioxide evolution test. Low Ecotoxicity - Classified as ‘not harmful’ to bacteria, algae, freshwater and marine invertebrates, and fish when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD and EPA test guidelines.
• Underwater applications. Shell PANOLIN S4 Hydraulic OS EAL fully complies to the low ecotox profile required by the OSPAR commission (Environmental Category Yellow) in order to protect the marine environment and contains no substitutable components according to the Cefas classification procedure, so can be used in offshore and underwater applications.
• Designed to protect even in cold climates Shell PANOLIN S4 Hydraulic OS EAL has good cold flow behaviour which enables a safe start even in cold conditions, thereby reducing the risk of metal-on-metal wear. In addition to protecting the machine over a wide temperature operating range, shear-stable, high viscosity index fluids enable increased hydraulic efficiency.
• Maintaining system efficiency High VI provides performance across a wide temperature operating window.
