Shell Panolin

Nontoxic Biodegradable Lubricants

For New Zealand customers looking to take concrete steps towards improving sustainability, Shell PANOLIN presents an easy choice. A complete range of ecofriendly nontoxic biodegradable products for a wide range of equipment applications.

Shell PANOLIN ecofriendly nontoxic biodegradable products

Reducing environmental impact without compromising performance

High-performance ecofriendly nontoxic biodegradable lubricants help customers to manage their product-related sustainability needs while protecting their equipment and the ecosystem they operate in. Many Shell PANOLIN products carry ecolabel certifications.

Shell PANOLIN Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) are designed with these challenging conditions in mind - as well as the longer oil life and performance needed for use in industrial applications.

Reduce total cost of ownership by selecting biodegradable lubricants and monitor their condition with Status Oil Analysis. Change oil on condition, extend lubricant life and enhance equipment performance, all while reducing environmental impact.

Benefits


In our Shell PANOLIN range, we offer Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) products designed to provide excellent equipment protection in harsh conditions:

Biodegradable

Over 60% breakdown within 28 days (according to OECD 301 B standard).

Environmentally Friendly

No bioaccumulation and minimal toxicity, reducing environmental impact.

Extended Oil Change Intervals

Shell Panolin is a long-life product with case studies demonstrating maintenance intervals up to 20,000 hours with condition monitoring.

Cost Savings

Lower maintenance and replacement costs due to longer operational life and reduced oil consumption.

Reduced CO2 Emissions

Less oil consumption and longer oil change intervals contribute to a lower ecological footprint.

Excellent Performance

Suitable for extreme pressures and temperatures, with reliable performance in low-temperature conditions.

Applications


Shell PANOLIN S4 performance lubricants are designed to run equipment without compromise. These lubricants extend oil life compared to unsaturated ester-type fluids, resulting in cost savings, reduced environmental impact and increased machine productivity.

Hydraulics

Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for multiple hydraulic applications and viscosity requirements. Shell PANOLIN S4 HLP Synth 32, 46 and 68 are Bosch Rexroth approved biodegradable hydraulic oils designed to help equipment operate without interruptions. There are multiple examples of lifetime filling, as longer oil drain intervals mean less being produced, purchased and disposed of.

Greases

Improve system efficiency, extend equipment service life and drive your productivity with the Shell PANOLIN biodegradable greases. Shell PANOLIN greases maintain and improve system efficiency under the harshest working conditions.

Gears

Protect your gearbox components from wear and contamination, to drive reliable equipment operations. Increase productivity with effective lubrication so that your equipment meet its capabilities and performs at optimal efficiency.

UTTO Fluids

Shell PANOLIN Biofluid ZFH is a readily biodegradable universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) with good thermal ageing stability.

Stern Tube

Shell PANOLIN S4 Stern Tube Fluid EAL 100 is a non-emulsifying synthetic fluid specially developed for use in stern tubes. Manufactured from fully saturated esters, it gives excellent lubrication performance whilst being readily biodegradable with low toxicity. It is classified as an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) and holds the EU Ecolabel.

Engine Oil

Engine oils based on saturated synthetic esters for the latest diesel engines Euro 4 ,5 and 6 Engines. Actual effects and benefits may vary. For more detailed information on each product and range please see the technical datasheets.

The Myths

There is a misconception that biodegradable lubricants are not suitable for use with equipment and machinery. Here are three of the most common myths behind this.


"Biodegradable lubricants are in trial phase and not ready for widespread use."

Biodegradable lubricants are ready for use across a range of applications and have undergone continual development to meet evolving standards for more than 40 years.

"Readily biodegradable lubricants fall apart on contact with water."

Biodegradable lubricants are able to match conventional products for hydrolytic stability*

* Shell PANOLIN biodegradable hydraulic lubricants pass Swedish Standard 155434 tests and protocol.
