• Excellent anti-wear performanceAt working temperatures, speeds and pressures, Shell Gadus S2 OG forms a protective cushion between the large gear (girth, bull etc) and pinion teeth.
• Superb load carrying capacityMolybdenum disulphide and other solid lubricants combine to reduce tooth contact zone temperatures, reduce gear surface pitting and alleviate ‘stick-slip’ conditions.
• Water repellentEffectively resists water ‘wash-off’ by immersion or spray.
• Corrosion protectionProtects metal surfaces from corrosion in hostile environments such as salt-water conditions. Repels dirt and dust.
