Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 Extreme Pressure Multipurpose Grease — 400g

What Is Shell Gadus S2 V220 2?

Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 — also known as Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF) 2 and Shell Retinax EP 2, and widely referred to as an NLGI 2 lithium EP grease, multipurpose bearing grease, or extreme pressure industrial grease — is a high-quality multipurpose extreme-pressure grease by Shell, based on a blend of high viscosity index mineral oils and a lithium hydroxystearate soap thickener, enhanced with extreme-pressure and other proven performance additives. Designed for the multipurpose lubrication of rolling element and plain bearings, as well as hinges and sliding surfaces across industrial and transport sectors, Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 is one of the most widely specified heavy duty bearing greases in the world — trusted in manufacturing plants, construction machinery, agriculture, marine, and general industrial applications across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

The special extreme-pressure additives in Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 enable the grease to withstand heavy and shock loads without failure of the lubricant film — a critical requirement for heavy duty plain and rolling element bearings operating under harsh conditions, in vibrating environments, or in wet and contaminated service conditions. Its improved mechanical stability prevents grease softening under dynamic loads, its good resistance to water wash-out maintains protection even in wet environments, and its excellent oxidation stability ensures consistent performance at high operating temperatures without hardening or forming bearing deposits. With an operating temperature range of -20°C to +130°C, a dropping point of 180°C, and a kinematic base oil viscosity of 220 cSt at 40°C, it is a robust and versatile extreme pressure grease GCC industries rely on for reliable bearing protection and extended service intervals. Maisam Trading LLC is the authorised Shell lubricants supplier in Dubai, with stock available for prompt delivery across the entire GCC region.

Description

Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 is the benchmark multipurpose extreme-pressure grease for heavy duty industrial bearing applications, available from Maisam Trading LLC Dubai in a convenient 400g pack. The NLGI Grade 2 consistency provides the ideal balance between pumpability and retention in bearing housings, making it suitable for both manual greasing and centralised lubrication systems in industrial plant and mobile equipment. The lithium hydroxystearate soap thickener provides good mechanical stability — particularly important in vibrating environments and dynamic bearing applications where inferior greases soften and lose their protective film, leading to premature bearing failure and leakage.

The high viscosity index mineral base oil at 220 cSt at 40°C ensures adequate lubricant film thickness at operating temperatures, while the specially formulated EP additive package protects bearing surfaces under the heavy and shock loads typically encountered in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, mining, and heavy industrial drives. Shell Gadus S2 V220 2’s good water wash-out resistance and reliable corrosion protection make it particularly well suited to the wet, humid, and saline coastal operating conditions typical of the UAE and GCC — where bearing protection against moisture ingress and corrosion is a day-to-day challenge. For bearings operating near their maximum recommended temperatures, re-greasing intervals should be reviewed accordingly. Note that this grease must not come into contact with hydraulic brake rubber components. As a trusted Shell Gadus grease supplier in Dubai and across the GCC, Maisam Trading LLC provides prompt delivery and B2B supply to industrial customers across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Q1: What is Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 used for? Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 is a multipurpose extreme-pressure lithium grease used for the lubrication of rolling element and plain bearings, hinges, and sliding surfaces across industrial and transport sectors. It is specifically designed for heavy duty bearings operating under harsh conditions including shock loading and wet environments.

Q2: What is the operating temperature range of Shell Gadus S2 V220 2? Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 is recommended for operating temperatures from -20°C to +130°C. For bearings operating near the maximum recommended temperature, re-greasing intervals should be reviewed to maintain adequate lubrication.

Q3: What does NLGI Grade 2 mean? NLGI Grade 2 is a standard grease consistency classification — it indicates a medium-soft grease suitable for most general-purpose bearing and industrial lubrication applications. It is pumpable through standard greasing equipment and retained well in bearing housings under normal operating conditions.

Q4: Why is Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 suitable for wet and shock load environments? The grease is formulated with special extreme-pressure additives that maintain lubricant film integrity under shock and heavy loads, combined with good water wash-out resistance that retains bearing protection in wet and humid environments — making it particularly well suited to the coastal and industrial operating conditions of the UAE and GCC.

Q5: Can Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 be used near hydraulic brake rubber components? No. Care should be taken to ensure the grease does not come into contact with hydraulic brake rubber components, as it may cause degradation of the rubber.

Q6: What was Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 previously called? It was previously marketed as Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF) 2 and Shell Retinax EP 2. These are the same product under previous brand names.

Q7: What pack size is available? Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 is available in a 400g pack from Maisam Trading LLC. Contact our team for larger pack size availability and bulk pricing.
