LEADING TECHNOLOGY
Shell's international research and development team works in
close co-operation with customers and equipment makers to
create the latest advanced-technology greases. These greases
are designed to outperform conventional greases by combining
a wide range of thickener technologies, which keep the grease
in place under different conditions, with innovative oils that
provide efficient lubrication and protection.

Shell's research teams have developed superior greases using advanced polyurea thickener technology. These products are designed to outperform conventional greases in extreme-temperature applications, such as electric motors and automotive constant-velocity joints. In one example, a global steel manufacturer reported that it reduced bearing failure rates by 75% and grease consumption by 30% through switching to Shell Gadus S3 T100 polyurea Shell Gadus S2 V100

The grease is extending excavator component life by lubrication. For example, a mining customer reports 40%, reducing downtime and maintenance costs, and increasing saving over $167,0001 a year through using the Shell Tactic EMV system with a high-quality Shell Gadus grease to increase maintenance efficiency.
