Shell PANOLIN Products
Shell PANOLIN Biodegradable Lubricants
Reducing environmental impact without compromising performance
High-performance biodegradable lubricants help customers to manage their product-related sustainability needs while protecting their equipment and the ecosystem they operate in. Many Shell PANOLIN products carry ecolabel certifications.
Shell PANOLIN lubricants are designed with these challenging conditions in mind 鈥� as well as the longer oil life and performance needed for use in industrial applications. Take a look at how Shell PANOLIN is used in industry here.
Choosing the right biodegradable lubricants and implementing ongoing monitoring with a service like Shell LubeAnalyst helps extend equipment life, maximize performance, and lower your total cost of ownership 鈥� and protect the environment.
For customers looking to take concrete steps towards improving sustainability, Shell PANOLIN presents an easy choice.
A complete range of biodegradable lubricants for a wide range of equipment applications.
In our Shell PANOLIN range, we offer biodegradable lubricants designed to provide excellent equipment protection in harsh conditions.
Temperature
A high viscosity index ensures performance across temperature ranges, offering reliable operations1,2.
Pressure, speed, and loading
Designed to provide shear stability2, wear protection, anti-scuffing properties and robust load-bearing capabilities.3,4
Environment
Designed to resist dust and water contamination4, with rust and corrosion protection, contributing to equipment longevity.
The Shell PANOLIN range includes the high-performance, S4 lubricants , designed to run equipment without compromise. These lubricants help extend oil life compared to unsaturated ester-type fluids, resulting in potential cost savings, reduced environmental impact and less downtime5,6
Hydraulics
Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for multiple hydraulic applications and viscosity requirements.
Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth 32, 46 and 68 are Bosch Rexroth approved biodegradable hydraulic oils designed to help equipment operate without interruptions.7 There are multiple examples of lifetime filling, as longer oil drain intervals mean less being produced, purchased and disposed of8.
Gears
Protect your gearbox components from wear and contamination, helping you to drive reliable equipment operations. Increase productivity with effective lubrication that helps your equipment meet its capabilities and perform at optimal efficiency9.
Greases
Improve system efficiency, extend equipment service life and drive your productivity with the Shell PANOLIN biodegradable greases. Shell PANOLIN greases can help to maintain or even heighten the efficiency of your systems, even under harsh working conditions.
UTTO Fluids
Shell PANOLIN Biofluid ZFH is a readily biodegradable universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) with good thermal ageing stability.11
Wire Rope Fluids
Fully synthetic, wire lubricants based on renewable esters, providing excellent adhesion and designed to reduce friction.12
Engine Oil
Engine oils based on saturated synthetic esters for the latest diesel engines Euro 4 ,5 and 6 Engines.
