Shell Gadus S2 U460L 2

Old product name: Shell Darina Grease R 2

Shell Gadus S2 U460L 2 is a high-performance, heavy-duty clay-thickened grease designed for high-temperature applications involving slow-speed, heavily loaded bearings.

Category:

Shell Gadus S2 U460L 2

( Previously named: Shell Darina Grease R 2 )

High-temperature, high-viscosity industrial grease formulated for severe-duty bearing lubrication

  • Inorganic (clay) thickener resists melting at elevated temperatures

  • High-quality solvent-refined mineral base oil with excellent oxidation resistance

  • Suitable for use in bearings operating from –20 °C to +180 °C (with caution above 200 °C)

  • Provides long service life under severe thermal conditions

  • Resists softening under mechanical stress and vibration

  • Designed to minimize evaporation and maintain structural integrity

  • Formerly known as Shell Darina Grease R 2

Global Product Code: 001D8483



Application:

Shell Gadus S2 U460L 2 is a high-temperature grease formulated for industrial and automotive applications involving heavily loaded slow-speed bearings. It uses an inorganic clay thickener that does not melt, making it ideal for severe operating environments where lithium-based greases are inadequate.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Non-Melting Clay Thickener: Maintains consistency at high temperatures without structural breakdown.
  • High Base Oil Viscosity: Provides a robust lubricating film for heavy loads and slow rotational speeds.
  • Oxidation Resistance: Enhanced with high-temperature oxidation inhibitors for longer grease life.
  • Vibration Stability: Remains in place under vibration and mechanical stress, offering effective sealing and protection.
  • Extended Temperature Range: Operates between –20 °C and 180 °C, and conditionally above 200 °C with adjusted re-lubrication.

Main Application Areas:

  • Heavily loaded slow-speed bearings
  • Industrial and off-road machinery operating at high temperatures
  • Applications previously using synthetic or silicone greases

Specifications & Approvals:

  • Former name: Shell Darina Grease R 2
  • Consult Shell Technical Helpdesk for OEM approvals

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Not expected to present significant health risks under normal use.
  • Use gloves when handling; avoid prolonged skin contact.
  • Clean exposed skin with soap and water.
  • Do not discharge into drains or the environment. Use authorized waste collection services.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
