Manufacturer's description

Hydraulic fluid - high performance, readily biodegradable, saturated synthetic esters. ISO 15,22 Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth is our highest performance and industry leading biodegradable saturated ester (HEES) type synthetic hydraulic fluid. Special zinc-free additive technology, formulated with high-performance fully synthetic saturated esters offer increased machinery efficiency through enhanced oil life and premium wear protection. Particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas and in stationary and mobile hydraulic systems including construction, earthmoving and forestry.

Applications

• For stationary and mobile hydraulic systems including earthmoving, forestry, construction and hydroelectric applications. Compressors, bearing lubrication and oil circulation systems & marine hydraulic systems.

Performance & benefits

• Enhanced oil lifeShell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth has an enhanced oil life and is designed to help equipment operate without interruptions, with multiple field examples of life time filling. Longer oil-drain intervals mean less oil being produced, purchased and disposed of. Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth has an outstanding dry TOST life of over 6000 hours (modified ASTM D943 test). Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth has good oxidative stability which results in reduced fluid degradation, reducing filter blockage and increased viscosity. This helps prevent component failures, frequent filter and fluid changes, downtime, fluid consumption and parts and labor costs.
• Premium wear protectionShell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth is designed to help equipment operate without interruptions. Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth offers exceptional wear protection of hydraulic equipment, and strong protection from the build up of sludge and varnish.
• Designed to protect even in cold climatesShell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth 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 help enable increased hydraulic efficiency in comparison to typical HM mineral oil.
• Recommended for use in environmentally sensitive areas, offers reduced impact of leak or accidental spillage into the environment 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' when tested as water- accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD test guidelines. Tested to Industry Standard by 3rd Party Lab, Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth has been tested against OECD 201,202 & 203. Shell PANOLIN Lubricants are manufactured in Switzerland and also expanding in North America and Asia to support growing demand. Shell PANOLIN Lubricants plastic packs contain at least 25% recycled plastic (Post Consumer Resin (PCR)). Shell PANOLIN Lubricants combined with Shell lubricant services can help customers to unlock potential reductions in carbon footprints and improvements in operational efficiencies.

Standards & approvals

• ISO 15380 HEES

  Biodegradable hydraulic fluid HEES — ISO 15380

  The international standard for biodegradable hydraulic fluids; class HEES is the synthetic ester type, the most used where a leak would reach water or soil.

• ISO 4263-3

  Oxidation stability test method for turbine-type oils, part 3

  ISO 4263 sets out test methods for determining oxidation characteristics of inhibited turbine-type/hydraulic oils; part 3 describes a dry TOST variant.Source

• OECD 301B

  OECD 301B biodegradability above 60 %

  A test result rather than a norm: OECD 301B measures the carbon dioxide evolved over 28 days. Above 60 % counts as "readily biodegradable", the threshold the environmental labels require.

• Japan Eco Mark

  Japanese Eco Mark environmental certification

  Voluntary Japanese certification attesting a product's reduced environmental impact over its life cycle.Source
