Shell Gadus S3 V460 Greases are premium, high temperature greases for heavy duty
industrial applications.
This product is based on high viscosity index mineral oil and a lithium complex soap
thickener and contains the latest additives to offer excellent high temperature oxidation
performance and other additives to enhance its anti-oxidation, anti-wear and anticorrosion
properties.
Shell Gadus S3 V460 Greases are especially suitable for slow moving, heavy-duty
bearings operating at high temperature and under severe load.
• Heavy Duty Protection
• High Temperature
• Lithium Complex
Applications
Shell Gadus S3 V460 Greases are used for the
grease lubrication of heavy-duty, slow moving
bearings used in heavy industries :
* Steel (Continuous casters, Workroll bearings
etc)
