Manufacturer's description

Premium Zinc Free Industrial Hydraulic Fluid for very wide temperature range. Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 VX fluids are high performance lubricants that use the latest zinc free technology, coupled with highly shear stable viscosity modifiers. They give excellent viscosity control and protection under severe mechanical, thermal and chemical stresses across a wide range of temperatures. They provide outstanding protection and performance in most mobile equipment and other applications subjected to a wide range of ambient or operating temperatures.

Applications

• Mobile and industrial hydraulic applications where ISO HV type hydraulic fluids are recommended.
• Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems in exposed environments which are subjected to wide variations in temperature. The very high viscosity index helps deliver responsive performance from cold start to full load conditions.

Performance & benefits

• Long fluid life helps with maintenance savingShell Tellus Zinc Free S3 VX fluids offer an improved capability to extend fluid maintenance intervals and hence reduce equipment downtime through: An extended ASTM D943 TOST lifetime, with an oxidative stability that is designed for upto 7500hrs TOST life; Excellent resistance to breakdown in the presence of water and heat; Highly shear stability modifiers to maintain viscosity control. These features provide extended maintenance capability without compromising protection or performance, even under severe or extended temperature operating conditions.
• Outstanding wear protectionAdvanced zinc free anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions, including low and severe duty, and high load operation. This protection has been demonstrated in tough industry standard hydraulic pump tests including Bosch Rexroth RFT-APU-CL (RDE 90245 for ISO 32,46,68), Parker Denison (T6H20C for ISO 32,46,68) and Danfoss Vickers E-FDGN-TB002-E (35VQ25 for ISO 32,46,68). The high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 VX fluids ensures viscosity is maintained over a wide temperature range and outstanding shear stability performance ensures critical oil film thickness is maintained within hydraulic systems highly stressed components. Protection is maintained even under high temperature and high load conditions.
• Maintaining system efficiencyWet and dry filterability coupled with excellent water separation; air release and anti-foam performance help ensure system cleanliness supporting hydraulic system efficiency. Shell Tellus Zinc-Free S3 VX hydraulic fluids at point of filling meet the DIN 51524 specification and report a maximum value of 21/19/16 measured to ISO 4406 industry standard test method. Fluid cleanliness reduces the potential for filter blocking, providing enhanced filter life and improved equipment protection.
• Low ecotoxicityShell Tellus Zinc Free S3 VX is proven to demonstrate a low ecotoxicity towards aquatic invertebrates, offering a lower environmental impact in comparison to many hydraulic fluids without low ecotoxicity test results. Low ecotoxicity performance of our finished fluid has been assessed across OECD and EPA methods: OECD 202 – Classified as “not harmful” to Daphnia magna and US EPA OPPTS 850.1035 - Classified as not harmful to marine mysid shrimp. When an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant is required, in accordance with US EPA, ISO 15380 or EEL (EU Ecolabel), we recommend our Shell PANOLIN range.

Standards & approvals

• ISO 11158 (HV fluids)

  Hydraulic oil, type H (HV fluids) — ISO 11158

  Class HV of ISO 11158: an antiwear hydraulic oil with a high viscosity index, for systems exposed to wide temperature swings.

• Bosch Rexroth Fluid Rating RDE 90245

  Bosch Rexroth RDE 90245 — hydraulic fluid rating list

  Bosch Rexroth's list of hydraulic fluids rated for use in its own pumps and motors. A fluid is listed after passing wear testing on axial piston pumps.

• Parker Denison HF-0

  Parker Denison HF-0 — hydraulic fluid, most severe level

  The most severe level of the Denison hydraulic fluid specification: the oil must pass the wear test on both a vane pump and a piston pump, dry and in the presence of water. HF-0 subsumes HF-1 and HF-2.

• Parker Denison HF0/HF1/HF2

  Parker Denison HF-0, HF-1 and HF-2

  The three Denison hydraulic fluid levels quoted together. An oil covering all three passes the vane pump and piston pump tests alike, including in the presence of water.

• ISO VG 46

  ISO VG 46 viscosity grade

  A viscosity grade, not a performance level.

• ISO VG 68

  ISO VG 68 viscosity grade

  A viscosity grade, not a performance level.
