Shell Morlina
Efficient bearing and circulating systems are characterised by their ability to operate at or beyond their original design parameters. Consistent and reliable lubrication, whatever the operating conditions, is key. Choose from our Shell Morlina range to find a bearing and circulating oil to match your needs.
Shell Morlina S2 B oils are high performance oils designed to provide outstanding oxidation and water separation protection for most general industrial bearing and circulating oil system applications and certain other industrial applications which do not require oils with extreme pressure (EP) properties.
Shell Morlina S4 B oils are high performance synthetic bearing and circulation lubricants, based on high performance base fluids. They offer outstanding lubrication performance under severe operating conditions, including improved energy efficiency and long service life even in severe operating conditions.
Wear Protection
Shell Morlina S2 B oils are formulated with a well proven rust and oxidation inhibitor additive package that helps provide consistent performance and protection throughout the maintenance interval, therefore providing reliable wear and corrosion protection.
Shell Morlina S4 B has been formulated to provide excellent anti-wear performance and provides high levels of wear protection for plain and rolling element bearings and moderately loaded gearboxes, compared to mineral oil-based products. This helps provide superior gear and bearing component life. In addition it also provides outstanding rust and corrosion protection of all metal surfaces.
Oil Life
Shell Morlina S2 B oils help prolong the life of bearings and circulating systems through:
- Excellent water separation characteristics that helps ensure that critical oil films are retained between highly loaded parts.
- Good air release characteristics to minimize cavitation and associated damage to circulating pumps.
- Helps protect against corrosion, oxidation, and emulsion formation, even in the presence of water.
The use of highly stable synthetic base oils in conjunction with a robust rust and oxidation inhibitor package helps provide excellent oxidation and thermal stability. This provides Shell Morlina S4 B with extending maintenance capability compared to conventional oils.
In addition it resists the formation of harmful products of oxidation at high operating temperatures, to help maintain system cleanliness and therefore reliability of the equipment.
System Efficiency
Shell Morlina S4 B can help improve the efficiency of lubrication in bearing and circulating systems. The superior low temperature performance and reduced change in viscosity with increase in temperature in comparison to mineral oil-based products provides better lubrication at low start-up temperatures and the opportunity for energy savings through reduced pumping and flow losses during normal operating conditions.
Rapid water shedding and air release properties further enhance the efficiency of the lubrication system by helping maintain critical oil films between loaded components.
