  • Maintains cleanliness in air/oil separator and coalescer systems

  • Advanced ashless anti-wear system protects gears and bearings

  • Rapid air release with minimal foaming under cyclic operating conditions

  • Excellent water separation ensures uninterrupted compressor operation

  • Suitable for oil-injected single or two-stage rotary air compressors

  • Compatible with mineral-oil-based compressor seals

Global Product Code: 001D7782



Application:

Shell Corena S3 R 46 is a high-performance rotary air compressor lubricant formulated for use in oil-flooded rotary sliding vane and screw compressors. It delivers reliable performance under continuous high load and cyclic operation and is suited for systems requiring high thermal stability and resistance to carbon buildup.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Extended Oil Life: Capable of achieving oil maintenance intervals of up to 4000 hours, depending on intake air quality and ambient conditions.
  • Clean Compressor Operation: Prevents formation of deposits on vanes and rotors, maintaining internal surface cleanliness and operational efficiency.
  • Outstanding Wear Protection: Ashless anti-wear additive system prolongs service life of critical metal components including bearings and gears.
  • Stable Operation: Formulated for rapid air release with low foaming to ensure reliable compressor performance under cycling load.
  • Water Demulsibility: Provides fast separation of water to maintain lubrication and prevent system contamination.

Main Application Areas:

  • Rotary screw compressors (oil-injected, single or two-stage)
  • Rotary sliding vane compressors

Specifications & Approvals:

  • ISO 6743-3 L-DAH

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Use with good personal hygiene practices. Avoid skin contact. Wash with soap and water after handling.
  • Dispose of used oil at authorized collection points. Do not discharge into drains, soil, or water sources.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
