( Previously named: Shell Corena AP )

Synthetic oil for severe-duty reciprocating (piston) air compressors

  • Designed for compressors with discharge temperatures above 220 °C

  • Extends valve maintenance intervals up to 2000–4000 hours

  • Offers excellent corrosion and wear protection for internal components

  • Resists carbon and lacquer formation on valves and piston crowns

  • Helps reduce maintenance costs and prevent unscheduled downtime

  • Assures reliable water separation and condensate drainage

  • Enhances discharge air line safety by minimizing deposit-induced fire risks

  • Formerly known as: Shell Corena AP

Global Product Code: 001D7788



Application:

Shell Corena S4 P 68 is an advanced synthetic air compressor oil formulated using ester base oils and a high-performance additive package. It is specifically designed for industrial reciprocating (piston-type) air compressors operating under severe thermal and pressure conditions, including discharge temperatures exceeding 220 °C. It is also suitable for breathing air compressors when used with proper downstream filtration equipment to ensure air quality.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Extra Long Oil Life: Extends typical valve maintenance intervals from 1000 hours (with mineral oil) to 2000–4000 hours depending on operating conditions.
  • Superior Wear Protection: Protects internal compressor parts such as bearings and gears from corrosion and mechanical wear.
  • Maintains System Efficiency: Prevents harmful carbon and lacquer buildup on valves and piston crowns even under high-temperature operation.
  • Improved Air Line Safety: Minimizes risk of fires or explosions in discharge lines by reducing carbonaceous deposit formation.
  • Effective Water Separation: Facilitates clean drainage of condensate and resists moisture-related system issues.

Main Application Areas:

  • Industrial reciprocating air compressors with discharge temperatures >220 °C
  • High-pressure piston compressors in severe-duty environments
  • Breathing air compressors (with proper air-cleanup systems)

Specifications & Approvals:

  • DIN 51506 VDL
  • ISO 6743-3 L-DAB – Severe duty
  • EN 12021 (breathing air with proper cleanup equipment)

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Use proper skin protection and avoid prolonged contact. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
  • Do not discharge into drains, soil, or watercourses. Dispose through authorized oil collection facilities.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
