Manufacturer's description

Hydraulic fluid – high-performance, readily biodegradable saturated synthetic esters. Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL is formulated with zinc-free additive technology and high-performance fully synthetic saturated esters to deliver a remarkable blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability. Readily biodegradable with low ecotoxicity, Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL hydraulic fluids are particularly suitable for use in environmentally sensitive areas where eco-label compliance is required, including US waters. For use in stationary and mobile hydraulic systems, including marine and deck equipment, construction and forestry.

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. Compatibility and miscibility: It is strongly recommended that an oil sample be taken from the system after changeover and analysed via the Shell LubeAnalyst service, to confirm that the new fluid charge is fit for use.
  • This lubricant must not be mixed with other biodegradable hydraulic fluids, in order to ensure that the fluid's environmental properties and performance are maintained. The system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids; guidance on fluid change-over can be found in ISO 15380 Annex A.
  • This lubricant is compatible with fluoroelastomers (FPM/FKM) such as Viton. Other seal materials and system components, such as paints, may be adversely affected, and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.
