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 help provide an outstanding blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability. Readily biodegradable with a low ecotoxicity, Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL hydraulic fluids are particularly suited 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.

Performance & benefits

• Extended oil lifeShell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL has an extended oil life and is designed to help equipment operate without interruptions. Longer oil-drain intervals mean less oil being produced, purchased and disposed of. Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL 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 labour costs.
• Premium wear protectionShell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL, is designed to help equipment operate without interruptions. Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL offers exceptional wear protection of hydraulic equipment.
• Designed to protect even in cold climatesShell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth EAL 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, high viscosity index fluids help enable increased hydraulic efficiency, in comparison to typical HM mineral oil.
• Lower Environmental ImpactRecommended for use in environmentally sensitive areas: An ‘environmentally acceptable lubricant’ as defined by the USA EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit and offers reduced impact of leak or accidental spillage into the environment when used in marine environments 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’ to bacteria, algae, freshwater and marine invertebrates, and fish when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD and EPA test guidelines. 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
• Meets requirement of United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2013 vessel general permit (VGP)

Standards & approvals

• ISO 15380: 2016 HEES

  Biodegradable hydraulic fluid : 2016 HEES — ISO 15380

  The 2016 issue of the biodegradable hydraulic fluid standard, synthetic ester class.

• Biodegradable OECD 301B >60%

  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.
