Manufacturer's description

EP universal grease - readily biodegradable, synthetic esters. Shell PANOLIN S5 Grease EAL A460 0 is a high performance readily biodegradable grease particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas where eco-label compliance is required, including use on roller and slide bearings, conveyor and drive chains, steel ropes and cables, and open gears. This grease is based upon an anhydrous calcium soap thickener and is designed to offer excellent resistance to water washout, outstanding load carrying capacity and good anti-corrosion properties.

Performance & benefits

• Wear ProtectionOutstanding load carrying capacity and excellent corrosion resistance properties provide protection over a wide range of temperatures and conditions and ensure long component life.
• Maintaining system efficiencyShell PANOLIN S5 Grease EAL A460 0 fluid has excellent water resistance to water washout. Excess water can be easily drained from lubrication systems, which helps to extend the life of equipment and ensures efficient lubrication of contact areas.
• Wide temperature rangeShell PANOLIN S5 Grease EAL A460 0 has excellent low temperature characteristics with good temperature range, operating temp -40 degC to 100 degC.
• 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.
• Meets requirement of United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2013 vessel general permit (VGP)
• It is strongly recommended that an oil sample is taken from the system following changeover and analysed via the Shell Rapid Lubricants Analysis service to confirm the new fluid charge is fit for use

Standards & approvals

• Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 SP

  SS 15 54 34 — environmental requirements for hydraulic fluids (Sweden)

  The Swedish standard requiring high biodegradability, low aquatic toxicity, and that the finished fluid not be classified as environmentally hazardous. It is required near groundwater and drinking water sources; verified products appear on the "SP list".

• 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.
