Industrial gear oil – readily biodegradable saturated synthetic esters. Shell PANOLIN S4 Gear EAL is an advanced synthetic fluid for use in gearing applications, such as marine thrusters and propulsion drives. Industrial gears, bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems. Manufactured from fully saturated esters, Shell PANOLIN S4 Gear EAL is designed to deliver outstanding load carrying performance while also being readily biodegradable with low ecotoxicity. Shell PANOLIN S4 Gear EAL is an environmentally acceptable lubricant (EAL) and holds the EU Ecolabel.
Applications
Meets the requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP)
For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell technical helpdesk. US EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit, offering a reduced impact from leaks or accidental spillage into the environment when used in marine environments, compared with conventional mineral oils. Compatibility and miscibility: It is strongly recommended that an oil sample be taken from the system after changeover and analysed via the Shell Rapid Lubricants Analysis service, to confirm that the new fluid charge is fit for use.
Fluid compatibilityShell PANOLIN fluids are miscible with mineral oils. However, to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of Shell PANOLIN fluids are maintained, the system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids.
