Shell Gadus (GearArmor)
High-Performance Open Gear Lubricant
Shell Gadus (GearArmor) is an open gear lubricant that provides improved protection, with unprecedented economy of use. Preventing wear on expensive components will always be the foremost “cost reduction” and Shell Gadus (GearArmor) is effective in this regard, even under the highest load. Shell Gadus (GearArmor) plates out on metal surfaces to create a dense dark film. The high concentration of solid lubricants provides a cushion of protection that minimizes metal-to-metal contact. Oil-soluble extreme pressure additives prevent scuffing by forming a slippery coating where surfaces come in contact. The combined effect greatly exceeds the protection offering by lubricants that rely primarily on high viscosity. Shell Gadus (GearArmor) promotes surface improvement as asperities are progressively smoothed down. The smoother surfaces minimize metal fatigue by spreading the load over a wider area. Reduced metal fatigue reduces the sub-surface cracking that leads to pitting. Shell Gadus (GearArmor) is reinforced by the addition of polymers. These promote cohesiveness, metal adhesion and water resistance.
Benefits
- Economy Through Wear Protection – components last longer.
- Economy of Use – the cost of use per hour is competitive with lubricants based on asphalt and solvent.
- Safety – free of hazardous materials.
- Clean Up – no hard residue to remove.
