Shell Tellus Oils TX
Multigrade hydraulic oils
Shell Tellus Oils TX are advanced performance, anti-wear, hydraulic oils designed for
applications subject to a wide range of temperatures or where small variations in
viscosity with temperature are required.
They are based on a blend of specially selected high viscosity index base oils and
additive technology unique to Shell. Special &＃39;viscosity index&＃39; improvers guarantee
excellent shear-stable &＃39;stay-in-grade&＃39; properties.
Applications
z Hydraulic and fluid power transmission
systems subjected to wide variations in
temperature or where low viscosity
change with fluctuating temperature is
required.
Certain critical hydraulic systems can only
tolerate small variations in viscosity with
fluctuating temperature if efficiency and
responsiveness are to be maintained. Shell
Tellus Oils TX are specially built to cater for
these conditions.
Performance Features
z Very low viscosity variation with
temperature
Advanced viscosity index technology
minimises the oil&＃39;s variation in viscosity
with changes in temperature and provides
good pumpability at low temperatures.
z High shear stability
The &＃39;VI&＃39; improver is highly resistant to
mechanical stress. The maintenance of
&＃39;stay-in-grade&＃39; characteristics ensures
effective lubrication and long oil life.
z Outstanding anti-wear performance
Proven anti-wear additives are effective in
all operating conditions, including low and
severe duty, high load situations.
z Excellent filterability
Minimal tendency to cause filter blockage
in the presence of contaminants such as
water and calcium.
z Oxidation resistant
Resist the formation of acidic products
and sludge, even at high working
temperatures.
z Corrosion protection
Long term protection against corrosion of
both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
z Rapid air release and anti-foam
properties
Quick air release without excessive
foaming.
Performance Level
Shell Tellus Oils TX have been tested and
approved to exceed the following industry
requirements:
Vickers M-2950-S (Mobile systems)
I-286-S (Industrial systems)
DIN 51 524 (part 3)
Compatibility
The anti-wear additive technology used in Shell
Tellus Oils TX is based upon zinc which,
although ideal for most hydraulic pumps,
should not be used in those of older design
containing silver-plated components. Shell
Tellus Oils S or R, depending on the severity
of duty, should be used for these applications.
Seal & Paint Compatibility
Shell Tellus Oils TX are compatible with all
seal materials and paints normally specified for
use with mineral oils.
Health & Safety
Shell Tellus Oils TX are unlikely to present any
significant health or safety hazard when
properly used in the recommended application,
and good standards of industrial and personal
hygiene are maintained.
Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious
gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash
immediately with soap and water.
