Shell Tellus S3 M 46
Premium Zinc-Free Industrial Hydraulic Fluid
Shell Tellus S3 M hydraulic fluids are high-performance lubricants that use exclusive zinc-free technology to provide outstanding protection and performance in most manufacturing and many mobile equipment operations. They resist breakdown under heat or mechanical stress, helping to prevent damaging deposits that can decrease the efficiency of your hydraulic system.
Main Applications
- Manufacturing and industrial hydraulic systems
Shell Tellus S3 M fluids are suitable for a wide range of hydraulic power applications found in manufacturing and industrial environments.
- Severe duty hydraulic service
The long-life characteristics of Shell S3 M fluids can make them particularly suitable for severe duty (e.g. load, temperature) applications or where extended life is required (e.g. Remote or inaccessible locations).
- Marine and mobile hydraulic systems
Shell Tellus S3 M fluids are suitable for marine and mobile applications where ISO HM type hydraulic fluids are recommended.
- Low toxicity towards the environment
Shell Tellus S3 M has a reduced environmental impact in the event of a leak or accidental spillage compared to conventional zinc-based hydraulic fluids. This is achieved through the use of zinc-free anti-wear technology and low sulphur base oils. Shell Tellus S3 M is classified as ‘not harmful’ to freshwater and marine invertebrates when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD and EPA test guidelines
For further reductions in environmental impact, we offer the Shell Naturelle range of environmentally considerate lubricants.
For applications that experience wide temperature variations, we recommend the Shell Tellus “V” series of hydraulic fluids.
