Superior Performance Open Gear Greases
Shell Gadus S2 OG greases are a range of premium quality lead and solvent free, full EP lubricants developed
for the lubrication and protection of open gears and wire ropes subjected to extremes of ambient temperature and
operating conditions.
They are a unique blend of high quality paraffinic mineral and synthetic base oils with carefully selected additives
to provide optimum performance. Its balanced formulation allows the lubricant to stay soft and pliable over long
periods, thus eliminating the build-up of lubricant in the roots of the gear teeth.
